Is this chiller safe for a 150 gallon salt water aquarium?

this chiller works great on my 200 gallon salt water aquarium.....much quieter than previous chillers..highly recommend so far...

It's safe but it sucks or at least the new model. The original Ecoplus 1/4 HP chiller was great, Much quieter and cooled a lot faster than the new model. The new model 1/4 HP is noisy and takes forever to cool my 100 gallon tank.

what size is your tank? I have a 300 watt in my 90 gallon saltwater . Temperature set at 78 and it stays at 78. I ran it at 82 degrees when it was cycling

Ben,The Chiller size depends on the capacity of your aquarium and ambient room temp. Chillers are not rated by output temp. I have a 65g aquarium and with the chiller my tank stays at 77 degrees with room temp of 78. Without the chiller my tank would be at 81. This chiller is great but it is not quite, I hope this helps.

I have a 60 gallon and from what I have seen as long as you can maintain 80psi you should be fine. Hope this helps.

As long as the GPH is correct going out of the filter and into the chiller I do not see any reason why it would be a problem. A pump is a pump no matter where it is. One thing you could consider is shortening or adding more length to your tubes to increase/decrease the water flow rate to match the chillers needs. The only thing you are going to need is some extra tubing and clamps to seal leaks. The setup would like this: Tank -> filter intake -> tube to filter -> tube from filter outtake into chiller intake -> tube from chiller output out back into the tank.

I would not recommend any attempt to waterproof the probe. Buy a thermowell(a waterproof metal tube sealed on one end and open on the other) and insert the temperature probe into it to measure temperature underwater. You need to use 316 stainless for a salt water aquarium and 304 for fresh water according to a thermowell manufacturer. You will need some way to mount it also. Here are examples for Homebrew use to give you an idea. https://www.brewershardware.com/Thermowells/ . One thing to note, by default if the sensor fails the relay fails shut. You can adjust this in the settings. See the manual. In my case of cooling Homebrew, the freezer would stay on indefinitely, thus freezing the wort. In your case the heater may stay on raising the temp too high. Again, check the manual for your specific application.

I honestly do not know. The very small instruction booklet that it came with was not even in English. It has worked great the couple of times I have taken it out. Very loud, but it runs! I just don't know about salt water.. sorry.

78 degrees is the coldest, I bought to small of a chiller for a 250 gal system. there is some noise to the chiller. Bigger is better I'm going to have to buy a larger one for summer ,look up Teco brand quiet and much nicer and cooling is better.

That wattage will be sufficient for your aquarium. 200 to250 handles a 55 gallon salt water tank easily.

It would probably work well for insulation. I would just worry about the weight of the aquarium.

110.. Mine worked for 6 years and then died BUT IT DIDN"T overheat.. It just wouldn't keep the aquarium warm anymore.. None of my fish died and if you are checking it daily it shouldn't be an issue.. I believe these are great heaters! I now have another that is 1 and a half years old

I can get back to you about it I am not 100% certain but I am pretty sure that my friend uses it with salt water aquariums. He works at the world largest aquatic pet store so I can ask him for you..

Yes it keeps the water at 70-74 is trouble free and looks good in a small fish tank. i would allow 24 hours for it to maintain an even temperature.

There is a good table of this data via this link to The Marine Depot website. Note that the distance between the pump and the chiller will diminish the flow so you need to keep this in mind when selecting the right pump. http://www.marinedepot.com/Aqua_Euro_USA_Max_Chill_Aquarium_Chiller_1_4_HP_Less_with_a_Built_In_Controller-Aqua_Euro_USA-ED1151-FICHINQCBC-vi.html

This tank is suitable for both freshwater and saltwater as far as I know. I got mine from a friend and he had a small nano reef in it for over 3 years without any problems. I have a freshwater aquascape and a Betta male in it and it's fine as well.

I've had no problems with the unit.. I feel it works tremendously.I have a 200 gallon fish tank. with this unit I have no problems going on vacation for a week.I use a 20 gallon freshwater tub to replenish the evaporation.
