Hi, i guess it depends on your budget, the cheaper chillers would be the China Brands like Resun and Hailea and for your tank, a 1/15 or 1/10(one level higher) would be good enough for your tank.
This is probably overkill for such a small tank, but what would be a best value chiller for a small 15 gallon tank?
I understand I can use a blower fan and top off everyday, but I have my reasons to not go that route (two of them being: (1) I am out for days at a time, and (2) humidity here is high == low evaporation rate).
Here's my ambient temp stats:
Goal: 75° F
Non-summer max day/night ambient: 80°
Summer max day ambient: 95°
Summer max night ambient: 90° (It can be quite deadly for a couple months here).
Current setup:
Tank: 12 gallon long (36x8x10)
Filter: Eheim 2213
Heater: Hydor inline heater
CO2: None yet
Plants: Low maintenance mosses
I looked around for Chillers, and I just can't find any solid reviews on sites.

Yeah, If you don't have budget constrain go for brands like artica/teco. Very quiet and efficient. I am running a 2215 with Hailea Hs28A for a 31l tank. So far so good. Kick in will be like 10-15mins then rest for 1hr or more then kick in depending on the temperature.
