    Does anyone have a JBJ 1/5? If you do what pump are you using and are you happy with it? Regrets?

    I just ordered my JBJ 1/5 and need to get a pump.

    Chris, a few questions,
    1. where did you order your chiller from?
    2. did you use jbj's "calculator" to determine what size chiller you needed?

    I've been looking at chillers for my 90G, and when I plug in the numbers (watts), it tells me 1/5th, but I've truly been thinking of going up one more to 1/4hp. I was looking at hellolights, they seemed to have the best prices.

    Couple things.

    1) sorry reybeast I mist your response..

    The 1/5 is rated for up to 180 GAL and yes I used the JBJ calc to determine what I needed. Should be good to cover my 135. Ordered it from reefplayground which is a sponsor here.


    2) My chiller came today when I was at work. My wife called me and said the box looked like it was re-taped, re-shrink wrapped, and some areas the box was opened. FEDEX said we could either refuse delivery or keep it without being able to put a claim in if it was damaged..butt holes.. Since Reefplayground will not honor return if opened or used(I understand used) we just denied delivery do to damage to box. Wife tried calling reefplayground but we did not hear back today. I will have to call them tomorrow.. I am bumbing along with my fish..:angry::angry::angry::angry::angry::cry::cry::cry::cry:
