*This is ONLY for small tanks*

The Iceprobe is quiet, reliable, and efficient, and doesn’t use gasses or chemicals that could hurt your livestock. However, it’s only ideal for small aquariums. The manufacturer states that it can lower a 10 gallon tank 6-8 degrees, but it just doesn’t work for big tanks - they even say you might need more than one!

I use one on a 24 gallon tank, though, and it works great. It climbed up to 100 degrees this summer, and the air conditioning in my apartment isn’t that great, but with good flow I managed to keep my water temperature in the safe zone.

The Coolworks Iceprobe is currently on sale for $24 dollars off

Let me show you what current owners have to say about it.

JPC1985.,

I bought this chiller because I wanted to have more cooling power for the summer, but didn’t want to buy or install an expensive chiller. I have it set so that if the water temperature reaches 78.5 it turns on, then if the temperature reaches 78.9 the fan turns on too. Since I’ve had it, the fan has only turned on once for a few minutes. I feel that it exactly offsets the heat from the metal halide. I give it 5 stars based on price, easy install, and because it makes no noise!
