Pacific coast chillers....where is the best place to buy?

[Joe DeSantis]

What would be a good chiller/hp for a 150 FOWLR. I read a post earlier this month about Pacific Coast Chillers. What would be a good place to order one from and what size would be suggested. The tank does not really get that warm because the lighting is PCompact (55w x 4), but in the summertime it will rise to about 82-86 degrees. Thanks in Advance!

You should get a 1/5 to 1/4hp chiller. I haven't had experience with Pacific Coast Chillers, but I'm very happy with the reliability and performance of my Aqualogic. It's not the prettiest chiller (Pacific Coast is a lot more attractive), but it's an industrial grade workhorse.

I don't know who has stock on Pacific Coast chillers. They're definitely affordable and appear to be well built.

Pacific Coast or West Coast?
Here is a link for West Coast http://www.marinedepot.com/a_ch_westcoast.asp?CartId=

Hey Joe,

I've only seen Pacific Coast Chillers at Premium Aquatics (http://www.premiumaquatics.com/Merchant ... cificcoast).

I've got a Universal Marine (really ugly but never had a problem with it) chiller and I'm happy with it (I think they're hard to find though).

Hope this helps,
Thomas
