One thing to consider is making the chiller easy to remove from the stand for maintenance. I used to keep mine in the stand but it was a pain. Maybe with a couple valves and unions it wouldn't have been an issue, but I got sick of it and started keeping it off to the side.

may not need a chiller, I had a south facing room with mine. led lights and never had a heat issue. ato was more important in my mind. that third chamber evaporates pretty fast in summer

I haven't been able to find a good deal on a chiller yet, so I'm gonna try running it with out and see how it does! Still missing the heater and a few power heads but I'm getting closer to getting this thing wet! Leds are done and working, hood is back on, the back chambers are finished ( intank racks installed). I still need to buy a skimmer, but I will have a bit of time before I need to get that. Still on the fence if I want to keep the fuge, as that opens up skimmer choices for me. Goal is to have water in it before I go back on shift next week.
