Chiller Question
A guy wants to sell me a "barely used" Oceanic 1/6 hp chiller for $200. I have a BioCube 29 gallon HQI which heats up in the summer. I know the chiller is rated up to 90 gallons or so. I also believe that Oceanic was bought by Coralife, and I think these chillers are discontinued.
1) Is this too much chiller for my tank? 2) Is this a good price? 3) Any comment on quality/longevity of the Oceanic brand chillers? 4) Any additional comments/concerns/questions? Thanks |

I think that unit retailed online for ~$500 so that price seems reasonable to me especially if it has hardly been used. Keep in mind you need a pump with the proper flow rate, or T it off another pump in such a way that the flow rate range that the manufacturer specifies is achieved. |
