    I have set up my tank for water cycling a few days ago. However, I notice that the water temperate has consistently been 30 degrees. I am keen to get a chiller, but I am unsure which one to go for:

    Some unbranded chiller from Qoo10: http://list.qoo10.sg/item/AQUARIUM-C...KURA/417814751
    Cool Works Microchiller: http://www.fishnfriends.com/FishSpecies/accessories/

    Which one will you guys get?

    How big is your tank in terms of water volume? The ones you mentioned works using a peltier and can chill limited volume of water.

    The price of the coolworks can buy you a conventional Hailea HS-28A chiller for a couple $$ more and can cool higher volume of water.

    Anyway, what is your target temp range? Aquarist Chamber sells something like your 1st link.

    My tank is about 4 gallons. It's meant to be a heavily planted tank (with java moss, java fern and anubias nana) for red cherry shrimps. My target temperature is 26 degrees.
