    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Aquarium chillers

You will have to factor in the room temperature and the amount of circulation pumps in the tank !!! if you have a big sump, that is important to know too.

I had a 1/10th HP for a 92g and a 30g sump and it did the job just great.. but my tank was in the second living downstairs where it's cooler, i have central air for the summer.
my light fixture was metal halides but was well ventilated..

i know i'm not giving a specific brand to ge with, there's a few good ones out there and the price ranges from cheap to extremely expensive for the same size..

choosing the right size is important, if you can buy and fit a bigger chiller. this is the best.. the bigger it is 1/5 or 1/3 hp the less it has to work to cool things down, and that in return will give your chiller a longer life span..

holp this help a little
 
Get on Amazon, and check user reviews comments etc. they are usually very helpful in determining the best one for you.
Also, welcome to fauna,
a moderator will probably move this threat to the proper forum.
 
I moved this to a discussion forum as it did not belong on the BOI. If you are trying to BUY one, please use the classifieds and post a wanted ad, it's free to do so.
