Best chillers?

[scratchman]

Looking to invest in a chiller so thought I'd see what brand you guys think is best. I have a 75 gal reef setup that only needs to be dropped 3-4 degrees on hot days. Any help suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Was thinking about the 1/10 HP Prime Mini Chiller - Dual Stage (2635)
By Current USA. $390 with free shipping from pet mountain.com?

here's the link with specs:

Thanks.

I would look into maybe getting a 1/5th hp for that tank, it would probably work a lot less.

JMO I live in a hot climate, like 98 right now with almost 100% humidity.

I have a Pacific Coast Imports CL-650 and have had no problems with it. It's overrated for a 75gal at 1/4 hp, but if you ever want to move up, you won't have to re-purchase. I started in this hobby with a 55gal and now have a 75, 2ea, 40gal breeders and a 180 in the garage waiting to be drilled so I am one of those that know about upgrading. Pacific Coast Imports are just outside of Portland OR I believe.

We just put in an Oceanic 1/2 & 1 HP Chiller for our 275 g and so far so good.

Keep an eye on Current's Ebay listings...you can usually get great deals. I bought my Outer Orbit light through there and it works great, but only paid a portion of the price. They have a 1/3 hp chiller on there right now for $359
