Coralife Aqua Chill

Maybe the heater has a thermostat that is a bit off. Did you notice if your heater was running off and on before (when it shouldn't have)? Now that the chiller thermostat is controling the heater, maybe that fixed the problem..??

Just thinking out loud here..

Both. Actually three readings. The chiller reads 78/79....I have a pinpoint probe in the sump that is at 78.5....and I have a pinpoint probe in the display tank that reads 77.5.

I should also mention that in addition to the 300W heater off the chiller I have a 200W heater plugged in as a heater normally would. Whenever I look I never see the 300W heater on and the 200W heater is always on. Both are in the sump.

It's weird. I guess it's doing the job but I never hear it. I'd like to hear the chiller kick in just once, just so I know it's alive.
