Chiller

[S7686P]

just got home to find my tank at 82 degrees. Saw a few things that didn't open today. Guessing I'm gonna need to start chilling this tank.

What size tank? What size chiller?

I have a chiller that I used on a 28 JBJ. Without pulling it out, I think it was 1/10 HP.

Hmm. Good question. Not really sure what size chiller I would need. I have a 90 with a 30 gallon sump

A number of factors are used in determining chiller size. I believe there are worksheets to help you figure that out. One critical factor are the type of lights. Interest that I too have a 90, and with the warm weather the past couple days had no problem with heat....but I'm running LEDs.

EDIT TO ADD

HERE'S JBJ's calculator
