Hi guys. Just want to hear your advice if it is overkill to install a compressor drop in coil to chill a 2ft tank?

My current tank size is 2ft x 1.5ft x 1.5ft with sump tank. Currently using HS28A. Due to the current dry and heat spell, the chiller is also working harder each day to cool 1 deg. I am setting my chiller to cool my tank at 27 deg C. Nowadays, It takes about 45 mins to chill 1 deg. I reckon its going to take a longer duration when the real heat spell season comes.

I know I have the option to use a bigger hp from the normal aquarium chiller. I am also planning to have a 4 footer tank by end 2015. Since I have planned to have a bigger tank, thought i might as well I get a compressor chiller now for my 2 ft and then use it later for the new tank.

So, will it be a good idea?

If you have the space why not. I would go for a brand new artica chiller with 2 yrs warranty that can support your future needs. In any case that the 2015 plan doesn't execute, it gives better resale value. Just my thoughts. Or why not just go 4 ft now. Hehe

Thanks for your reply bro. Your advice really make sense! What if I do not want to carry out the 4 ft project??? Didnt tot of that at all. Planning to renovate my kitchen, bathrooms and floorings, that was why I got this 2 ft first lol.
