chimera Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 30 is really a maximum but dont want it constantly at this. chillers aint cheap and depends on rating and make. typically around $700 - $1000 2nd hand, double that new. pm dogmatix i think he was selling one.

Sharkey Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 A fan does a really good job but you will get more evaporation. So not so good if your not around unless you have a large topup system? You could run it on a timer ? Just a cheaper option . Mine only gets hot for around a month so I use the fan I cant justify the cost of a chiller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
