Maintaining a steady temperature in an aquarium can get quite tricky. A sudden change in water temperature can stress your fish and can lead to diseases and even death. There are many things within the aquarium setup that contributes to a high temperature within the tank. The tank, being a closed system, does not lose temperature to the atmosphere. Lighting and water pumps, electrical filtration systems that are submerged in the water all contribute to the high temperature within the tank. Add to this the heat during the hot summer months, and some of your fish are in danger of being cooked alive.
This is where the water chiller comes handy. The water chiller not only helps to decrease the temperature within the tank, it is also useful in maintaining a steady temperature within your system. This is the most important use of a water chiller. Without a water chiller to reduce temperature, the water may become warm enough to have hardly any oxygen. This will cause the life forms to die.
Aquarium water chillers usually are of two types: in-line and drop-in chillers. The in-line water chillers are placed right next to the sump or tank and coolant is fed through an external probe that is placed in the water. There are different kinds of water chillers for different capacities.
