Hi am gonna swap out my Arcadia AT650 chiller its been playing up..keeps losing calibration...and also give out way too much heat....spoken to the LFS and he has recommended an Aqua Medic for hassle free. Any good ?

Also the pressure pad buttons for the settings keep playing up too.

This is the chiller
Arcadia the leaders in pet-care lighting technology - Aquarium Chiller

I have a Red Sea Max 250 aquarium.

What should I go for ? I want the best quality I can get without making my living room too noisy or feeling like a sauna ? I have the cabinet kit for the RSM250 already.

Also the outlet pump which pours the cool water back into the tank is not really pouring out that fast. I have it plumbed in via a vecton UV Filter. Is this slow flow rate normal ?

The chiller when it comes on, eventually drops the temperature down to 26 but the 2 x thermometer in the tank still shows higher sometimes plus 2.5 or 3.0 higher. This is despite being calibrated the night before ? Is this normal with a chiller ? Its the first one I ever had so dont have a clue.

Any advice on what to go for ?
