Teclima Chillers

[miken]

Does anyone have any experience with the Fritz/Teclima Chillers?
You can see the specs at...

I have a 72 gallon tank and am considering one of these models. I'm looking for good/bad comments and recommendations.

Thanks!

it say's

"The Teclima Micro Chiller is designed to cool and heat aquariums up to 32 gallons in size up to 10°"

you might need something that can handle 72 gallons.

If you go to http://www.fritzpet.com and then click on products at the top, and then chillers, they show the 5 or 6 different models they carry. The micro obviously won't work on my tank, I was thinking about the CA240.

I'm just looking for some feedback from people who have these, or othermodels of chillers as to what works best.

I was also looking at the TurboStart on the Fritzpet site. I've read on other boards that this is pretty good stuff.

Finally...I recently bought an ETSS Super Reef Devil Skimmer for another tank I will be setting up soon. I heard good things about it before I bought it, but now am finding some negative comments about it. Any experience on these from anyone?

Thanks...

I was considering Teclima before I bought my CSL. I switched to CSL at the end as I have not heard back from reefers on this board on the Teclima. I didn't want to take a chance on a $1000+ investment. I got a 1/2HP CSL. Teclima rate their product on wattage, I do not know how to convert that rating system to the one's I am more familiar with ------- HP.

I am happy as of now on the CSL, even though it's only been a month.
