Re: Starting a FOWLR tank need input Hey Evan, Dont buy a chiller big waste of money. You really don't need one were you live plus your not running a big metal halide light wich cause a lot of heat. Instead use your money on a good protien skimmer and a hang on canister filter and a couple power heads for water flow spend your money on fish and live rock and live sand, thats all I run on my 40 gallon and I have corals plus when it gets too hot run fan on the tank or turn on the air conditioner. Keep it cheap as possible for you. Oh also get yourself a test kit for ammonia nitrite ph and nitrates and test 1 a week after your tank cycles and do monthly water changes of about 25 percent and you should have good success just like me. Good luck and don't buy everything your LFS trys too sell you.
