Advise on chiller

Thinking of getting a chiller for tanks, any advise on price, any DIY around? Haha discuss discuss

You will need to tell pple what size of tank etc. JBJ has a website where one can work out the sizes for various tanks. Use 3.8 litres per gallon and max temperature(30C or 87F) for current water temperature. Remember to add 20% for lighting load to take care of ballast if fluorescent is used. Finally, up one size larger because chiller will degrade in performance over time also for future additional work.

There are many DIYs, from using a bar fridge to full size job using air conditioning unit. Google to find out. Not as easy as buying a second hand unit.
