  15. Drop in vs in line chiller

    I am setting up a new 100 gallon reef system. So far with running my 400wMH/actinic lights, my tank get up to about 81 degrees. It would be much easier for me to add a drop-in chiller to my system...does anyone think that I should get an in-line instead? If so, why? Thanks
