    Well, with the crazy New England weather, we are already starting to hit the high 80's...although today it's only in the 60's....anyways, my tank is located in my bedroom, which gets VERY warm in the summer. Last year I kept the tank temp under control with the AC, but this year with the MH I'm wondering if I may have to invest in a chiller. Any suggestions on what's the best??

    AquaMedic make very nice chillers. I have sold alot of them with very litlle negative feedback. Also the pacific coast imports are a nice chiller as well. I just picked up this line so i do not kow much about them.

    Thanks for the reply...I actually ended up ordering an Aquamedic Titan 250.....found it at a great price and free shipping, so I figured I better do it... :)

    More fans help allot.
    Here in Texas it is always 80 degrees and summer time it is 100 and some times hotter.
    AC is set at 75 and fans are on a timer. temp outside today was 86 degrees and tank temp is 78 with 2 computer fans running in my hood.

    An important feature to look for on any chiller is a Titanium heat exchanger. Titanium is the best choice for corrosion resistance and heat exchange in an Aquarium Chiller.
