Chillers

[bobsingh1]

I have a 29 gal reef tank and a 15 gal sump. I want to decrease water temp no more than four degrees during summer. Does anyone know of any chillers that cost less than arm and a leg and can do the job ?

coolworks ice probe. I never used it, but it's in a catalog I have. It can cool up to 10 gallons by 8 degrees.
I'm looking into getting one myself. I have a 55 gal tank. I don't think this one will be sufficient for my setup.

another option would be to get a small window unit a/c for the room with the tank in it. you can get a small a/c for less than $200.

SALTRIGGER:
How did the CoolWorks IceProbe work for you? We have a 50gal reef tank which hovers around 85 degrees with powercompacts and UV sterilizer. Looking to drop temp. by 5 degrees.
Thanks for any advice!
