    Well Max, If your temps are up and you've tried fans & all, I'd save the ca$h for a good quality chiller. I would'nt let my temps go above 85 degrees.

    Chillers are one of those pieces of equipment you really shouldn't skimp on. Start by checking out a search in the threads & forums here. I'm sure the question has been asked before. Then, go to our sponsors sites......

    Good Luck! ;)

    p.s. Maybe you can snag a good quality used one? (Craigslist, ect.)

    hey if you get one new spend the money on aqua logic or tradewinds
    both are made and assembled in usa, both are backed with long warranties and both are 100 percent repairable. Not the case with most chillers, I learned the hard and expensive way...
