I'm in the market for a chiller with the temps here starting to hit 99 and my tank hitting 85. Can anyone recommend a good one for under $500 and where i might be able to get it?? Any suggestions on who makes a good one or any sites that offer them from experience??

You can try fans if you want, their cheap and easy, however they do not look professional.

I tried fans but it won't lower the temp more than 2 to 3 degrees. Unfortunately i think its time to spend the money on a chiller since i've had 2 corals turn brown and die since the weather got hotter.

I was looking at that one also and it seems like a good value for the money. I was also looking at this one:

Anyone have any experience with it and adding the heating element to kill two birds with one stone??

How does everyone else keep their tank cooled down??
