Arctica Chillers

Hello fellow reefers,

Need some advise on the Arctica Chillers electricity Consumption for my 3 feet tank.

Recently looking at Arctica Chillers and Teco Chillers and found the good deal on the "JBJ Arctica Commercial Chiller 1/2HP (DA-500B)"

Few questions:

1. It's mentioned from FnM website that the Capacity is 1,170 watt? does it means the electricity consumption is 1,170 watt/hour?

2. And I compared with Arctica Chillers DBE 200 1/4HP - the capacity is 879 watt/hour. And when I take a look at Hailea Chiller HS66A 1/4HP - consumption is 400 watt. Now comparing these 3 chillers - how come Hailea seems like better in consumption. Am I correct to see it in that way?

3. Any bros can advise me which model should I take for my 3 feet tank? FYI - I will placed the chiller indoor.

Thanks all bros in advance!

Happy reefing...

For 3ft, 1/5 or 1/4 is enough. No pt looking at 1/2 hp.

Do note, 1/2 hp is quite diff to 1/3 hp. 1/2 hp is like yr hse split unit aircon. My take for the good offer is because many had turned to drop in Coil. All the best.

Ok bro. Noted. does it mean the electricity consumption wise much bigger than 1/4HP?
