    Everyone,

    I hate to resurrect this thread as I usually don't post at all BUT yesterday, my tank exceeded the 86 degree threshold. YUP! I lost a couple of fast growing acropora frags that I truly loved b/c of this temperature spike. I only run T-5's and my tank is 55 gallons+10 gallon sump with the pumps, powerhead, skimmer, reactors and especially the lighting itself, I have no choice but to bring in a chiller.

    I'm sure many of you who live in California have more experience with its use so can someone give me an idea what powerhead/waterpump would work best with an Arctic Chiller (1/10 HP) and where would be the best location to place it?
