Anyone have one of these, i think i might invest in one if i get the metal halides...there is about 6" x 14 x with a water level of 6-8 inches...my 1590gph pump is in this chamber. i am wondering if i could put the chiller coil in the sump and would it chill the water quick enough before it is sent back to the display tank...if not would it be better if it was in the refugium?? I am going to buy a heater while i am at it. I have been looking at the specs and jager makes a 250w rated for 90+ gallons, but other brands have 300w and rated for 100gallons. Would i need to get two 250w heaters for a 180g tank???Also this would go in the refugium as well if it wouldnt be benefical in the sump. Thanks

Never used the drop in type chiller but plenty of flow is good. You don't want the flow too slow or it will start freezing water. If you have he flow high it will just chill the wate a little each time by and it will get the temp where you want it that way. My chiller is on my closed loop and it is rated about 3000 GPH at 4 ft( I think I have about 6)
