Wish I lived in a country where I needed a chiller. My heaters are rarely off but I do drive a lot of evaporation to hold my PH high with the addition of limewater replacing evap water. The tank is also in the basement so when we do get the odd hot day the room temp is a lot lower inside than outside.

Thought if I were a Reef Fish I would need a coat. And since down on the reef we never see it this cold.

Sorry had too!!
