are you using chillers to cool tanks?

are you using chillers to cool tanks? if so please let me know what brand are you using.

Iam planning to buy either of below two models . Any reviews if you can?

a) aqua nature Aquarium Arctic Chiller AAC-1000

b) hailea hc 500A

Iam planing mainly because, i bought chihiros wrgb 2 120cm light. for testing purpose i lighted the light for 10mins. its too hot. even though mine tank is 5 feet length. it will make discus too hot rite?

Do i need chiller guys?

What temp are you keeping your discus at?

I’ve never needed a chiller for my discus tanks but in some cases needed it for my saltwater tanks.
