Corallives chiller vs Artica JBJ chiller

[NGOSHREEFER]

I have a 150gals reef tank, currently i run the coral lives chiller 1/4 hp. I set the temp at 76 degrees but i always see it at 77 or 78. I thought about changing to JBJ artica chiller 1/3 hp.

Please let me know more about JBJ chiller if you own one. Thank you for your time

How often does your chiller work per day? Is the controller the one that says it is 77 or 78, or it is a separate thermometer?

The chiller is on every 10 mins. the therometer also from coral lives.

I am sorry about the previous reply, i was distracted. Anyway, i have a diff therometer which made by corallives. I just install a fans in the stand to blow out hot air from my refugium and i have not notice any diff. I rather go with chiller that over power my tank than under. At the same time i like something will last longer.
