Installing Chiller in Garage
I want to install a chiller in the garage (about 100 ft from my 125g reef tank). Any suggestions on brands? Is it possible to have the chiller that far from the tank?

Shawn,
I have my chiller in the garage but its only about 10 feet away from the tank. You could probably do it as long as its a pretty level run and you use a high pressure pump. As far as chillers go I recommend the Tradewinds chiller and then the Aqualogics. |

 are you asking about a "drop in" chiller? If so that's not going to happen.The water runs through a heat exchanger on an inline chiller. You'll have to plumb it from the tank to the chiller using PVC pipe. Can't you just put the chiller outside just a few feet from the tank and cover it so its protected? I used to have mine on the front pourch. I'd much rather do that then have it in the garage. |
