With winter coming and almost no stock then really not needed now. But the more consitant your reading stay then the better your system will survive. If money not an optoin then http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=3578+4900+12068&pcatid=12068

If your lacking on flow or refugium or skimmer then start there if not have fun.GL

You just missed out on great sale at Premium Aqauatics. I picked up a JBJ Arctica 1/4 hp for my 90 gallon (soon to be 120).

You cant go wrong with JBJ. Quiet and reliable.

The key to chillers is that you want to oversize them just enough so that you achieve a 30 to 40% duty cycle.

I like my JBJ Arctica. I have a 1/10 horsepower for my 46g with connected 30g and 20g sump. It's pretty much maxed out with that, so I'd suggest a 1/5 or 1/4 horsepower for your tank. Drs Foster & Smith usually have good prices, and keep in mind their shipping as you search around. DF&S charges standard shipping rates even for most (if not all) of their large items.

JBJ Artica is nice and quiet gotta agree.. but of you're on a budget and won't mind the noise.... then i would also say Resun 650L
