Chiller question

[tyson256031]

What size chiller would be good for a 120 setup?

I have a 125 and use a 1/4 horsepower and it works great. I am also running 2-250 halides along with 4 t-5's and they are only about 7 inches off the surface.

Thanks for the info, is it really needed up here? I'm debating if I really need it for only like 5 days out of the year lol.

i am using a 1/2hp on my 210 reef. if I did not use it my temps would be up in the mid 80's. I keep mine at 78 with the chiller with no worries about temp anymore. i am running 3x250w hqi and 4-54w t-5's

I have a 1/3 hp on my 150g which also has my 55g connected to it.

I use a 1/2 hp on my 240, and before I did have a chiller my temps were usually close to 80 before the lights would come on and go up from there. I was always looking for new places to put fans.
Now that I do have a chiller my temps are always 78-79.
