Comments: Have been using this chiller for about a month now with an eheim 1260 to power it, on a 90gal tank. Have not had any problems. temperature has been rock solid. never above seventy-eight where I've had it set. before the chiller the tank consistently ran 83-85 with the lights on! Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Unsatisfactory

Got the new unit by JOHN

Comments: So I took out my jbj and put in the new 1/3 hp with a Litle Giant series 2 and well it was just plain loud, and slow. The item it self is not well built, the face plate has two push in tabs that don't stick and the face plate comes off. Also why would I only get the option to run 5/8 to it. The only barbs that come with it for hook up are way to small for some one running a 1/3 hd. I mean come on here. it should be 1 inch or maybe offer a 1/2 with a thred option but most people who would buy this run external pumps at 1 to 1/2 inch. it was not an item I could get at Lowes to hook this up so that in it self took me to re-pipe my system to fit this in. It also took a long time to drop, and it hold to about 1* or so, but I take a true temp and find that it is off a tad. Further you cant set it to 75.5* as I could with other units. This help for dead on settings due to the temp not being correct in the chiller vs my in tank probe. Would I but another one. I dont know but as far as my old Artic, I want it back. I would not recommend this product to my friends.
