yah. ARctica prices are really high. Sighz. me bad at DIy. So not taking the chance yet. That time diy cooling fans for my tank, end up spoiling everything. Then spend more money to get a proper fan set.
The smaller models of the arctica chillers are below 2k.
The model quoted to me, was the largest of the aquarium series. So thats why price so high. And cooling a 6 feet tank ah no joke... hee.

But he using so many pump in his tank.U can try go JBJ web site do a test and they will tell u what chiller to go for.

did that. they reccomended me a 1/4hp chiller (Model DBE-200). but was thinking if i ever upgrade to a marine tank. will this chiller be able to handle the work load. well considering the sump, the skimmer, the extra pumps here and there...
