    I have yet to set up my arctica 1/5hp chiller and I read that the minimum recommended flow rate is 480gph or about 1918l/h. I am thinking of pairing it with eheim 2075 but 2075 flowrate will not be anywhere near 1918l/h. Any bro here uses 1/5hp with a lower recommended flow rate but still gets good results?

    I think you should try it first . If you can get under 30 minute of operating time and above 2hr standby time is good .
    If you've learnt, teach, if you have, give.

    My next consideration is to use arctica 1/10hp and pair with eheim 2075 for my 4x1.5x1.5. Is this viable?
