Tradewind or JBJ Chiller

[Blu-J]

Im looking to get a chiller either 1/4 or 1/5 HP for my 120G setup for the winter when we run the fireplace for days it gets hot in the house.

I had a JBJ a long time ago but this one im doing will be going in the basement hard plumbed so Im leaning toward the tradewind for the ability to hard pipe it and not use flex hose at a small 3/4 limit on the JBJ.

Anyone have any experience with tradewind, seems they make a really nice product.

Only thing I couldn't find is if they are using a titanium heating element.

Thanks all!
