I was concerned about noise, I assumed chillers would be noisy and I like silence.
I wouldn't call them noisy but they sure aren't quite. But thats only when they are on. I have mine in my room and I can sleep with it on.

I was also concerned about minimum flow rates, chillers I have looked at have been listed as for example "flow between 500 gph and 1000 gph". What if you want a lower flow? Will the line freeze up, or will the chiller just not work as efficiently?
I used an underpowered-powerhead for the first little while and it just took longer to cool down. Then I bought a proper sized one and it works almost twice as well now. I might have just barely avoided freezing it up but I will never know.
