JBJ Nano, new, $200 shipped versus AquaMedic TC150, used 8 months, $170 shipped.

The AquaMedic is a thermoelectric chiller and works on a peltier type device that uses electricity to cool the water.

The JBJ Nano is rated up to 25 gallons, and the AquaMedic is also rated for smaller (less than ~40 gallons I'm assuming) tanks.

I plan to put this on an AquaPod 24 with a SunPod 150W fixture above it.

What's the best option to go with? The JBJ Nano or AquaMedic TC150?
