My system I a little under 600G. I have a window about 1 foot from my sump, my sump is not under my display. I’ll have a dedicated pump (L2) for the chiller. I also have a fish room, but I don’t want the heat from the chiller dumping in my fish room. I can mount it with exhaust out the window or install it outside.

What chiller would you recommend?
How would you install it?
 
First the chiller has to be sized for water volume & room temperature.
Then how much you want to drop the temperature.
THEY ARE HEAVY!
When I had mine it was a small unit & I had it on a shelf by a window & had a duct fabricated so heat went outside. But, I think you will be better with an outside unit, shaded from sunlight.
