    Ok, I have a 29 gallon oceanic biocube. Im on the thrid floor of a 3 family house and it gets super warm in my apartment. I bought a fan and it seems to work but I have to really stay on top of it. Plus it has me spending more money on water because it evaporates it. So just for convienence, I am wanting to get a chiller..any reco's? It will just make my life a lot easier

    The 1/10th HP JBJ Arctica will work perfect.

    I believe it is thermostat controlled... but OUCH! You can buy a decent window AC for less, then both you and your tank could enjoy cooler temps.

    Just sayin'...

    I love chillers. My friends always have periods of stress in the summer. I sit back, smile and sweat in the exhaust. :)
