Hi
I notice i need a chiller since the weather get nice and hot my living room get hot so i definetly need a chiller.
What do you guys recommend for Red sea 250 65 gal SW tank?
Some say 1/10 or 1/5 or 1/4 will be good as well but that for like 250 gals?
The 1/2 is too big dont have much room for it . But will love to place it in cabinet if possible any recommendations what size and company ?
Does it matter name of company or does it make a difference?.
Any help will be greatly appreciated .
Thanks everyone
Mike

I went with a JBJ Arctica 1/10th HP. Works great. You'll see it in my RSM250 thread.

It's quiet and is rated for correctly for the tank size:

Also you CAN NOT place it in the stand, it needs PLENTY of ventilation 12" in front of and 12" behind of open space

Will that unit decrease temp 20 degree lower if needed ? Cause if it get to 98f
if it lower it to 78 that will be great ?
