Certainly less costly than a water chiller. Simpler, too.
Hi all,
khyberkitsune a quick question, as the little peltier cooler are about $5.00 to $10.00 or so each from ebay, how many would you need for a 55 gallon reservoir?
What would be the correct wattage? I find wattage between 91.2 and 250. There seem to be a lot of choices for me to screw up on, so as not to irritate the wife I'd like to get it right the first time.
I have looked and can't really find an answer to this and don't want to have to experiment too much.

BTW, I'm running a 55 gallon ebb and grow.

Thanks as always,
Buz :smokin:
