Pretty sure I'm going to go with the CSXC-1 from marine depot. Even if barely ever kicks on, I'll have peace of mind.

Do you have any regular household fans? If so, point one toward the tank and see if it makes a difference over the course of a day or so. My 150 was getting pretty warm and simply increasing airflow in my basement made a world of difference. It allowed fresh, dry air to flow across my sump and increase evaporation to cool the tank.

yesterday when overheating I tried a window fan and it was very effective. I'm also pumping outside air through a stone to get cold air in the tank. That seems to be working for the time being

I have decided on the CSXC-1. Going to wall mount it next to my skimmer. Prime HD is also wall mounted (glass mount is a disaster waiting to happen. Use my MJ1200 return pump to directly feed the chiller and discharge as normal to display. Attaching a few pics for reference. You can see where I'm injecting cold air outside too an air stone I'm the tank . Having minimal results. I'll feel safe with the nano chiller
