I have a via aqua polar bear cc25. I have a mag drive 5 with a flow rate of 300gph. Im using a ball valve to control my flow so that it doesnt flow to much. The recommended specs are 150-450gph I believe.

I don't know how you can adjust this but you need to get your temp MUCH more stable than that. I would assume the thermostat on the chiller has a setting that turns it off right at the set temp but everything is already chilling away and the temp slips lower than expected. Maybe setting your chiller to 79 would help? It's probably more of a trial & error type of thing.
I would highly suggest you get a "tank controller" that will control your chiller and heater to work as a team to keep things just right. I use a Neptune Aquacontroller on my tank and LOVE it.

I'll try setting it up. So a heater might help? I'll research more on that. Im kinda an amateur to controllers. Do they help and are they easy to use?
Thanks for the help guys
