Chiller for 24gl. Aquapod

[SouthSider]

Has anyone or know anyone that put a chiller to this system and how did they do it as you know that it has a lid with only two holes in the back one for the pump and heater.

I'm using a fan for now but I really want to manage the temp. correctly.

I have a 28g nanocube. I was wondering the same thing. How would I plumb in a chiller?

Welcome to RF guys! Matt (mattseattle) had a small chiller connected to his aquapod. I'll fetch you a link in a sec, but all he used was a mixijet to run it. Give me a sec and I'll fetch the link

Here's one link to his chiller. Hope it helps some

My probelm is that my pod has the lid.

I haven't seen a pod with a lid in a while, but you can probably just drill 2 small holes through the lid to feed the chiller and have it return to the tank and just drop the maxijet in the back compartment. I think that all you'd need is holes big enough for 1/2 inch tubing (I think that's what Matt said he used). Not big holes at all

Do you know of any company or store can give me the best price for a chilller and Maxijet?

I use to buy from one of the sponsors here Premium Aquatics. They had great prices and great customer service! I think Matt got his chiller from Marine Depot though (if I remember correctly) who is also a sponsor here as well
