Yeah yeah :rolleyes: I know I'm starting early, but I was surfing today and found this little goodie :biggrin: I wonder if I have been good enough for this little toy :cool:

Has anyone ever used one of these units before, or heard anything on there general performance :question:

It's a cool "toy" for the $400 CDN it will cost you I'd say don't bother.

1/5 HP Inline titanium chillers I think start at between 700-800 and 1/4 HP $800. I could be a little off with the prices but still, I know they will actually work. I haven't personally used the ICEPROBE but I have been told a few times from different sources not to bother. I just bought 1/4 HP chillers and they have been working fine for 7+ years with no problems. Maybe check Reef central for reviews? I think if they made a larger model it would be more feasable. If Santa gets you one, let us know Rich.

about a year ago on RC there was a over whelming amout of people that said they didn't work very good at all. I agree with Van.. buy a real chiller.

Thanks for the info guy's, I'm sure glad I haven't seen them forsale at my LFS, otherwise that might have been a bad impulse buy :biggrin:

And I was not surprised to get a response from you-Steve, I new when I posted this thread that "Steve the techno wizzard" would be one of the first to reply. :razz: :mrgreen:

How's things go'n James?, what are you up to these day's? Drop me a PM, we should go out for a cold one sometime soon.

Thanks again,

Well, if I meant it in a bad way Steve, I would have called you the techno geek instead of wizzard :razz: :mrgreen:
