I have a reef tank that I am going to purchase a chiller for before stressing through another summer. I have about 120 gallons but would like to upgrade in the future. I know I need between 1/4 and 1/3 hp but would like a chiller that isn't going to be too loud. I am looking at the Prime Current USA-their Tower model or an Aqua Logic Delta. What is everyone running and which one would be suggested-thanks in advance for your advice!!
Regards, Mike
Oh I also found some Custom sealife chillers-they went out of business but these are new units-anyone know if these are noisy and if they are a quality unit. Thanks everyone!

I don't know about the chiller you listed, but I use a JBJ Arctica 1/4
on my 130gal total system. works great and if quieter than my refrigerator. My tank now stays at 77-79 degrees was at 85-90 before. Hope this helps

CSL and Deltas are noisy. The Current is the "new" CSL, same chiller, different name. Noisy.

Arctica.
