A guy is selling a 2 yr. old current 1/10 hp chiller for $260.

What do you think?

Sorry no help here but chillers seem awfully expensive when you could get a window air conditioner for $130.

what brand is it?

**coachfraley** · 06-04-2008, 04:29 AM

current usa

I live in SoCal Hobbs, lol. I think it would cost more to cool the room and the tank, than just to cool the tank.

**cocoa_pleco** · 06-04-2008, 04:31 AM

they retail for about $400, if its in good shape, go for it

**coachfraley** · 06-04-2008, 04:33 AM

i offered $220, if he accepts, I will do it.

Thanks!

considering its age $220 sounds fair. good thing is since youre in Cali, you will be able to put the chiller to good use for most of the year

I'm with you Hobbs... What we won't do for our fish. Sitting in the room sweating out brains out while the fish are cool and happy. Maybe need to sit with your feet in the tank to cool off?

Chillers are a lot more expensive than they used to be because freon was banned. All chillers are photoelectric, and that costs.
Coach, tank your size that chiller will easily keep the tank between 10 and 15 degrees below ambient.
