I just purchased a JBJ artica 1/3 hp for my 75 gallon tank. It was second hand, two years old. I know it's overkill, but I figured it would cool faster and be on less time. When it turns on to cool it makes a popping sound, or almost an engine nocking. Like I said it is used...and I assume that's not normal. It cools, but takes about 15 minutes to get down a degree....any ideas?
Thanks

Weird. Doesnt sound right.

May be the fan hitting something as the chiller comes on. Check with JBJ and let us know what they say.

You have a good chiller IME. I think the first thing you want do is clean the filter. It's easy just follow the instructions.
