Understanding Aquarium Chillers In essence, chillers serve the opposite purpose of heaters.
The IceProbe chiller is an aquarium chiller produced by CoolWorks. It is designed to be fitted into sumps, overflows, prefilters, and aquarium walls.
The IceProve chiller does not have a thermostat and chills as long as supplied with power. It is highly recommended to add a thermostat that regulates power supply to the IceProbe if building a setup using this chiller. CoolWorks also produce and sell a proportional temperature controllers designed to be used with this chiller.
The IceProbe chiller comes with a W effect and several units can be used to achieve better cooling effect in your setup. Coolworks also produces the MikroChiller aquarium chiller, a smaller chiller designed to be used in nano tanks where it chills the water and increase water movement.
It can bring down the temperature in a 10 gallon aquarium up to degrees. Oceanic makes high quality aquarium chillers that by many are considered among the most silent of all chillers. They are not the cheapest brand out there but they often have a long lifespan and have very accurate thermostats that make Oceanic aquarium chillers a good choice when it is important to keep the aquarium temperature very stable.
It is possible to connect a heater to Oceanic water chillers turning them into complete climate controls for your aquarium.
On the negative side, Oceanic chillers tend to have a sort of plastic look and they are best hidden away in a well ventilated cabinet or similar as the LCD displays generate a lot of light. Oceanic is a well-established brand within the hobby the natural choice for many when they want to buy an aquarium chiller, but not a given choice as other individuals prefer other aquarium chiller brands.
Teco was founded in and is another very popular aquarium chiller brand that is recommended by many. Chillers from Teco are known to work well and can reduce the temperature in an aquarium quickly.

UV sterilizations units are also available for Teco SeaChill chillers.

Many aquarists have told me that these are the best aquarium chillers on the market. I am not going to say that, just that it is a popular brand and a favorite for many. You always have to take your particular preferences into account.

If you are keeping fish that need colder water and the higher dissolved oxygen that water provides, then keeping the water cool enough for these fish will be important. A chiller will help you to maintain the cool water temperature that cold water fish require, thereby allowing you to keep these fish.
This becomes more important the warmer your climate - or, more particularly, your home - is. Most aquarium keepers, particularly most beginning aquarium keepers, do not have any need for a chiller. Aquarium chillers really are for more advanced aquarium systems.
