Spykes, He's asking for opinions. In the for sale forum, he'd only get opinions of people who have one to sell.

I'm buying an AC unit today.

That's my chiller

Tuna, I have no personal experience with chillers, but one thing I've learned about reefing is that BIGGER is usually better.

I have a 1/4 HP pacific coast chiller for my 75 gal. and it's really working well for me. Contact Tony of Reef Exotics. He should be able to give you a good deal.

I have a Pacific coast 1/4 HP chiller it works excellent, but If I where to buy now I would have gone with a 1/3 HP and probably the JBJ.

Go bigger, it will cool the tank quicker and will most likely be on less which will save u on electric.

i would go with teh JBJ. Ive never seen a complaint about them from anyone. Pacific coasts do have their complainers.

BTW send me a PM i can get either for you at a discounted price

 

[FastUno]

So what would you guys recommend for a 90g & 30g sump (only which 15-20g is usually filled up)?

Which JBJ?

& how is the noise levels, which one is less noiser, PIC or JBJ?

Premium Aquatics has the Pacific Coast CL-650 1/4 HP Inline Chiller for $489.99 not sure of their shipping costs.

 

[Tim]

You better check those shipping costs because the chillers are heavy......

I owned a PCI 1/4hp and now own a jbj 1/4. Even though it's more money i felt it was a better chiller. Much quieter too. I'll take the jbj anytime!

 

[glipper69]

after reading this thread and thinking a little about it, I am now actually planning on upgrading my chiller to a 1/3HP.

so I do have the PCI 1/4 HP chiller, I will sell it to ya if you are interested. it's only a year old and in excellent condition. I only run it during the summer months so techniquely its only been used last summer and for the past 2 weeks.

PM me to Let me know if you are interested.
Thx,
Frank
