Drop in Type Chiller

[pet]

Wonder if any of you have come across drop-in type chiller locally? It seems that it's a trend oversea to do away with the pumping work and install a titanium coil drop-in type chiller.

Any comments on the performances?

Thanks,

I dunno abt the specific calculations but isn't drop in less cost-effective?

wolfie...wat's makes u thk so it is less cost-effective

anyway...rumor is contemplating wif Ice Probe

IceProbe Thermoelectric Aq. Chiller (Coolworks)

This is the ideal cooling solution for small aquariums--55 gallons or less. It is a quiet, reliable & efficient chiller uses advanced thermoelectric tech- nology to directly convert electricity into cooling power. Can be easily bulk- headed through a 1 1 4/" hole into siphon overflows, prefilters, sumps or even directly into plastic aquariums. Provides continuous chilling when plugged in to a power source, it does not have an on/off switch. A separate temperature controller must be used to turn the device on or off at pre-determined tempera- tures. Size: 4" x 4 3/4" x 7 1/2" includes probe.
