220 volt chiller?

[steve671]

Can anyone direct me to the least expensive 220 volt chiller. It will be used for a 125 gallon mixed reef and the location that I want to put it only has 220 volts.

The cheapest one I have found so far is this one: http://www.championlighting.com/product.php?productid=20830&cat=353&page=1

If it's a standard residential 220 dryer or range circuit just use 1 leg of the 220 line.

It is actually the AC line. My concern is that if the AC and the chiller are on at the same time there will be an unequal draw on the two hot wires. Do you know if this is going to be a problem if I do it that way?

It will only be a problem if the total amps exceeds what the wire or breaker is rated for. It will be an unbalanced load on the 220 breaker, but as long as it's under what it's rated for, I don't think it will be a problem.
