Hi all-
I have a 40 gallon with about a 15 gallon sump. The past 2 weeks here in santa barbara have seen the weather get into the low 80s. The place I'm living gets stinking hot during the day and freezing cold at night - probably no insulation.

I've tried fans, but I'm getting a temp swing of 78-84. When the tank hit 84 I decided I needed to try something else. I have an RKII handling the fan and heater duties. I don't mind a 2 degree swing in the summper, but 6 is too much. Also, I set the RKII up to turn off my 150w halide at 83 degrees. What would the best chiller be for this size aquarium?

I have a PCI CL 280 on my 58. It's 1/10th and it's pretty silent. $300.

1/10 is plenty. I'd also look into Teclima's line of chillers. They're known to be quiet too.
