ThePremiumAquarium Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Hello everyone, I am looking to purchase a chiller for my new 210 gallon tank. I just got the stand all built and am working on teh plumbing and need to get a chiller so I can plumb it all in. If anyone has one in the 1/4-1/2hp range that they are looking to get rid of let me know. I don't have a ton of money, but know that these things aren't cheap. Thanks for your help and interest.

CCR Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Check with Jason at Coral reef pet center in salem. He can sumtimes get good deals on chillers that are refurbished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePremiumAquarium Posted May 25, 2007 Author Share Posted May 25, 2007 Thanks guys, I checked with him today. I think I might just try and check craigslist and look around for a bit. Jason can get a great deal for me if that fails. I have a week or so to look, so hopefully something will turn up if not I am going to have Jason grab me one. Should probably just get it from him accept the funds are getting low and hopefully I can find something for around $300. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePremiumAquarium Posted May 28, 2007 Author Share Posted May 28, 2007 Well guys I am no longer in need of a chiller. I picked up a Pacific Coast C-1000 from Advanced Aquarium down in Salem today. Thanks for all the helpful advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kriswaters Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 how much was it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePremiumAquarium Posted May 29, 2007 Author Share Posted May 29, 2007 I actually got an incredible deal on it. I purchased an RPS-3000 skimmer at the same time. The chiller cost me $500 and the skimmer was $225. Both were great deals and I thank Ryan and Roger for their help in getting this tank chilled and keeping it clean.

ThePremiumAquarium Posted May 30, 2007 Author Share Posted May 30, 2007 I am actually just getting ready to move everything up to Salem. I just got the 210 and the 90 is in the process of being torn down. After a couple of months with the 210 set up and making sure everything is doing good in the new system, I would be down for trading. Yah, the chiller was a killer deal. The lowest price I found on it was like 1250 and it usually goes for between 1400 and 1600. I think it might be a bit overkill though! Oh well, rather it be way to much than even a little to little.
