NanoReefNovice Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Im looking at buying a used 1.5 yr old JBJ nano chiller. I never had or used an aquarium chiller before. I am wondering how/if i will be able to test that it works before i buy it? Any help will be much appreciated. thanks. Link to comment

not_sponsored Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 If you're using a 5 gallon bucket to test it should drop the temperature of 5 gallons of water about 15-20 degrees in an hour. So if it drops 2-3 degrees in 10 minutes you should be good to go. Link to comment
