Default Need help on chiller

I am thinking of installing a CL 450 for my 3ft tank. What is the flow rate of the filter that I shd use? Think of getting a eheim 2213 or 2215 is it ok? cos their flow rate are 440l/h and 620l/h respectively. Any one can help?

Both should be ok. I am using CL450 supplied via my 700ltr/hr canister for my 3ft tank too. My chiller on for 10 minutes and off for the rest of the hour while set a 25 degrees C.

But I find 700 l/hr too strong for my shrimp/moss tank. If fish and planted, should be ok.

Hope above helps you.
