    hey lads

    ive got a 130L marine tank and was wondering if i should get a chiller over summer. With the heater OFF my tank goes to around 28 degrees celcius let alone when we have 40 degree days to come... so i guess i'll need a chiller any suggestions/advice???:confused:
    cheers :)

    If you have the budget for it then I would get one, great insurance to have if the heat goes up. Really boils down to how much money you got tied up in your tank.
