Got a 1/2 horse oceanic chiller that ran for 3 months, almost new condition. Bought it for 950 selling it for 600.

Hmmm... That is definitely a big boys chiller. Might be a bit overkill

I have a Eco plus 1/4 horse bought at jl used last summer 3-4 months it's in perfect shape but would have to buy rich's chiller if you want lol maybe we can figure something out.also have a 1/10 th horse not being used but think it's a bit small.

Ryan - you didn't say how much for your 1/4 hp chiller?

What size tank did you run it on and was it sufficient?

Tyler, I ran a 1/4hp on my 150g with no concerns for sizing. Bigger just cools faster.

Thanks Brad. From what I've read (I've never owned a chiller) I thought a 1/4 hp would be ideal.

being smaller, it would run longer, so more heat generated, which, if it's in that back room, could be an issue. Thought about plumbing it to garage? Or at least vent the output through the ceiling?
