IMO that chiller is going to be a bit small on a 225g. I'd use a 1/3 as a bare minimum, 1/2 preferable.
$400 for a 1/4hp is a decent deal, but not a great one. You can get them new for about $550. I guess it depends on how old the unit it, how well it was taken care of, etc. Of course all this is moot if it's too small.

Not much about a 225g tank is cheap.
The pacific coast is a pretty nice unit. I don't own one myself, but I'd buy one. Decent prices.
I'm a big fan of the JBJ Artica chillers, the Aqua Logic, and the Trade Wind chillers. All are good. The last two are companies that have been making chillers a lot longer than we've been putting them on aquariums... they know their stuff. That said, I have to stand the JBJ I have.
