Chillers:
Available On-Line Only
Controlling your tank temperature especially in the summer months is
critical. Tank with temps over 82 degrees experience a dramatic
decrease in oxygen saturation. This means all life forms in the tank
are at risk of dying. Though chillers are effective in controlling
tank temps I still recommend considering installing an air conditioner in
the room. Most, if not all, have economy settings which turn them off
once the desired temp setting is reached. If there is no window to
install into, Sears has a portable room conditioner that would work as well.
Air conditioners are WAY less expensive than chillers & not only will keep
our tanks (& you!) cool but are super at dehumidification as well.
Understanding that some folks may have cathedral ceilings etc. which may
make an air conditioner an impossibility I've chosen to offer a few good
chiller options below.

Recommended tank size <55 gal
50 Watts of Cooling Power
Easy Bulkhead Installation (will need to drill)
Quiet, Efficient & Reliable
Environmentally Friendly
With its threaded probe, nylon nut, and silicon washer, the IceProbe can
be easily bulkheaded through a 1.25 inch hole into syphon overflows,
prefilters, sumps, or even directly into plastic aquariums.
In typical aquariums, one IceProbe can reduce the temperature of 10
gallons of water 6 to 8 F, 20 gallons of water 3 to 4 F, and 40 gallons
of water 1 to 2 F. Multiple IceProbes are commonly used in aquariums
over 20 gallons to achieve higher temperature differentials.
NOTE: This chiller does not include a controller. Usually if the chiller
is cooling the water too much you can just set your heater up a little
to compensate. They do offer an optional controller offered below
