I'm considering getting a chiller for my system, to prepare for the summer.
I have a 82g display tank, with a 30G Ecosystem Refugium, and 50G sump. Also attached is a 30G prop tank.
The fuge and sump aren't really all 30g or 50g, because of the baffles, and the prop tank will be more like 25 gallons or so because of the overflows.
Will a 1/10hp chiller be decent for my system? I have yet to set it up, but california gets warm, warmest to the 90's in the summer. I have all my sump and fuge stuff in the basement, which stays relatively cool, but would like the chiller just in case.
Also, I was looking at JPJ Arctica or Pacific Coast chillers. Which is a better brand?
