I have a 29gallon Biocube. Interested if anyone has ran a chiller on nano or biocube. Also if u currently run one can u send me pic and let me know how u set it up? Thanks

I run one a jbj28nano. I don't have any pics at the moment but I just have a mj1200 as one of the returns it just feeds through the chiller first.

just curious how it would work like a gravity feed and pump out? never have messed with a chiller.

The chillers really don't need a lot of flow going through them, it gives it more time to cool the water as it passes, its basically a closed loop.

You have the powerhead in the chamber connected to a hose that comes out and into the chiller, then the return hose comes out of the chiller and runs back into the chamber and connects to the return nozzle.

so would i need a stronger pump? or do chillers have built in return pump?

It depends on how strong your current pump is. Mine uses a MJ1200. The chiller has no pump, its just plumbed inline.

I use the Azoo 4 fan unit on 15 minute cycles on my biocube and the temp is 76.

I keep the front lid open and the fan sits over the opening.

Summer is almost over man... Vegas will be nice and cool in a month or so... Just use a small fan to cool it like mentioned above... I use a Walmart clip on fan on my sump and it cools 100gal of water by 4 degrees....;)
