Tim and Kendra Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 I am having a problem keeping my water temp down so I want to get a chiller to make it easier on me. But I am not sure what size chiller I need for my 75 gallon. I have been looking at the JBJ Arctica Titanium chiller but I dont know if i need the 1/15 HP or the 1/10 HP. Can anyone help me out with this?? Is there any thoughts on this specific chiller also?? Thanks, Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Hydro Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 It really depends on how warm your tank is getting but I would go with the 1/10th for sure. JBJ is a good chiller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mcallahan Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 how hooked are you on a chiller? I could probably setup a fan system for you that would eliminate the need for a chiller depending on your setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim and Kendra Posted January 19, 2010 Author Share Posted January 19, 2010 It got up to 84 degrees today. So is the 1/10 enough or should i go for the 1/5? Is that to much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim and Kendra Posted January 19, 2010 Author Share Posted January 19, 2010 Im not toataly set on a chiller but i only have one 250MH and want to add one more. Just worried I am not going to be able to keep the temp down if i do that. But i would be open to a fan system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Daniel Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 What do you keep the temperature at in your house? Also, keep in mind that while fans are effective, they will likely result in a lot of water loss due to evaporation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
