Bro, if budget can try Hailea chiller... (china brand)
for 2ft, i think range should be 300~400

noise wise, of course not as quiet as Artica (price is thousand+ i guess)

But bro, quite curious what will be your filtration choice?

Resun 280 good enough already. Very little maintenance needed for chiller apart from cleaning the filter. Hailea 150 also can (1/10hp) and I think it is quieter than resun..can see at Nanyang (Jln Kayu) they use for planted tank. Think it is about 300. Maybe can buy 2nd hand from forum...

wah... not bad ah.. 1 small fan can cool down 2ft tank.
I am also using a small fan to cool down my 1ft cube tank. coral wise is abit difficult to maintain. water volume too small, water parameter hard to control. need daily water topup...

Enjoy your marine tank bro...
