JBJ Arctica Chiller 1/20 For Trade

[jrobbins]

I just bought this chiller from another MR member yesterday to run on my Solana, but it isn't powerful enough for the tank so I am looking to trade it off.

Its in great condition and works fine, I just think I am going to have to stick with the 1/10 hp I was using.

For a trade I really need some sort of wavemaker. Ie. Vortec MP20, a controllable Tunze, etc. or a dosing pump for 2 part. I can supplement the trade with cash if necessary.

I am not looking to sell this, and if I can't find a good trade I will just hang on to it for a future project.

Here is a link to a stock pic as well as specs for the chiller..

Pickup is in on the upper west side (80's) or near Grand Central.

PM sent... how big is your tank? Think it would be powerful enough for a 39g?

pm replied. still available.

Crysis: fwiw, i was running it on a 34g solana that is in a hot room and has the glass cover on it, and it was not strong enough. the 1/10 hp i was(am) using was strong enough but it brought the temp down too quickly for my liking. is your 39G a cadlights tank? if so very nice

hmmm then I doubt it would be powerful enough for a 29bc the room mine is in is pretty hot. I bet this chiller would go great for like a 20L though. Good luck with the sale.

marteen i belive that would definalty be good for a 29 gallon bio cube.

i have a 1/10 on 85 gallolns and you would have 1/20 on 30 and you would have .13333- more horse power per gallon. and mine handles it perfectly.

Oh I see you are looking for a trade. Hmmm I don't think I have anything to trade. If you decide to sell let me know.

Just to chime in here...

I have no idea if it would be enough for your bc29 but assuming your are just running the stock lights and didnt shove a halide in there or something it would probably be fine.

My tank doesn't need anything to keep the temp down if i run it without the lid, but with the glass lid on the temps shoot up to 85-87 which is just too much for this chiller...
