    Looking to get a chiller for new tank setup (2 feet ~ 60x45x45 ~120L). Currently have eheim ecco pro 200 which is about 600L/hr, is my filter flow rate enough? And for my tank size what is the recommend model and hp size for a chiller?

    Hope to get some advise. Thanks!

    You can get a 1/8 or 1/10 HP
    I would recommend the following:
    If you choose hailea, you can either get a HS-28A or HC150.
    For resun, you can get CL280
    As for teco, TR10.
    As for your filter, I think the flow may be too low after connecting with any of the chillers mentioned above especially if you have media in the filter.
    I am currently using Ehiem 2026 connected to teco tr10. Flow just nice for my 60x40x40 tank.

    My last setup was a HC150 with Ehiem 2028.

    You might need a lily pipe to reduce the outflow rate.

    Using HS-28A slight noise can be heard at night. But not too bad since my tank is at living room.Not sure whether there are any chiller that are much quieter.

    The flowrate is barely sufficient. You need o consider the twist and turn of the piping, filter media etc
