I need a chiller!!!

[schippy]

Help, my water temp is way to high. I have tried the tricks spoken about in previous letters, but they have not helped. I have lookied into chillers but they are all really expensive. Anyone know of a cheap effective chiller for a 55gal??
Thanks

You might check out ----....
There also are some plans for DIY chiller that uses a dorm refrig. Other than just getting one, you could keep ur room cooler. depending on how much of a drop you need.
One kinda drastic measure would be to ad a large shallow fuge and put fans on the top, giving you a large surface area to evap with.
Check around u can usually get a used chiller on ---- for mid 300 range. and I have found some online new for as low as 340 for a 1/10 hp version.
Good luck.
