Default Chillers

My tank has been 30+ Celsius for the last week and I'd like to purchase a chiller. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have heard that a lot of them are garbage and don't want to waste my money on a ****ty one.

Buck up and get an aqua logic chiller. Best chiller around. I use the titanium drop in one, no plumbing required

Well, ya, they're top of the line, but there are cheaper alternatives Finding one used would be good, but aqualogic doesn't come up for sale often. I hardly use mine now, but I'll never part with it

Most of the chillers around are reasonably decent units with warranties.

Agreed
I haven't seen any 'junk' chillers around, per se
If you can get yourself through this hot spell, you'd be better to buy one towards x-mas, rather than now

Kinda like buyin' a snow blower when it starts to snow

Try blowing fans across the top of your water, and keep your top up water handy

Good point, thank you. I think I will try a few fans for now. Try to get some of that heat from my metal halides of off it.
