The JBJ Arctica Chillers incorporate some of the most advanced technological features to create a solution to stabilize water temperatures for your aquarium environment.
JBJ Arctica Features
Titanium Heat Exchanger
Exclusive titanium coil design creates maximal contact exposure.
Condenser Layout
Condenser, which is located on the front side of the chiller, draws cool air from the front and exhausts the warm air out the back. This unique placement also allows direct access to clean the condenser grill without any tools to take the chiller apart.
Energy Efficiency
Low energy consumption means lower cost. The highest BTU (British Thermal Units) heat removal capacity with the lowest AMPERAGE draw.
Fully Automated Digital Thermostat
Automatically control your temperature within +1/-1 Fahrenheit using the built-in thermostat. Includes a bright LCD that can easily be read day or night.
Least Noise and Smallest Vibration Level
You will be amazed at how uncommonly quiet this chiller is. Definitely an attractive quality for aquarists with tanks located in living rooms.
Compact Footprint
Many of the Arctica chillers are no larger than a standard desktop computer. Their compact size makes placement easy, even if you don't have a large designated area.
Side Handles
Lift and move your chiller easily using the ABS molded handles.
2 Year Warranty
Arctica Chillers are covered by a 2 year warranty, direct from the manufacturer to you.

What flow rate and what kind of power head would you recommend using with this chiller? My tank is 265 gallons.
Thanks

The flow rate on the chillers is quiet forgiving. On the 1/3th HP chiller they recommend between 480 and 2400gph of flow. Its quiet common to hook them up inline with your return pump if its within that flow range. Otherwise something like a Sicce syncra 4.0 pump would be a good choice.
