i was curious about your res size because current says these 1/10th are good for 40 gallon res, ive seen 1/10th hp chillers {generic} rated up to 135 gallon res. just wondering who was closer...

they are typical ac units, no doubt there.
they put out a SHITLOAD of heat... extracting the heat is alot easier said than done. i would definately plumb the chillers into another room or as far away from the plants as possible.
GreenDragon - When i called current they suggested {while it was apart awaiting the fan} to put a sub pump in bucket and circulate CLR through the heat exchanger. this will disolve all the leftover built up salts from our nute solution. he suggested to do this every 6 months to a year for hydroponic growers... less often for aquariums.
of course thoroughly rinse out the CLR.... the exchanger in a current chiller is titanium reportedly...so the clr wont harm it.
