Trimline ChillerAqua Logic’s Cyclone and Delta Star models are known worldwide for quality construc-tion and supe-rior performance. Manufactured to the precise standards of the original models the new Aqua Logic Trimline Series uses the same reliable components now in a smaller, more compact design. Engineered for the home or office where noise, space and style are your consideration, the new Trimline is sure to compliment any room decor.Both models use the original Titanium helical coil design developed by Aqua Logic more then 15 years ago, providing the most efficient heat transfer and consistent temperature control. Titanium is the industries ultimate in corrosion resistance, demanded by professionals for all saltwater applications. The sleek shape of the chiller has a brushed stainless steel enclosure and black plastic panel inserts. The Trimeline has such features as oversized rubber feet and a super quiet Tecumseh compressor to reduce noise.The Trimline Cyclone coil size and hose length and the Delta Star inlet and outlet connections are the same as the original units. All use ozone friendly refrigerant, remote digital electronic temperature controller, and come with a 2 year warranty (from date of purchase).All Aqua Logic products are designed with your marine life in mind. Your fish and coral matter to you and that means they matter to us. Keep them healthy, disease free, less stressed and full of natural color. Cyclone and Delta Star, the chillers of choice. You can rest easier knowing that Aqua Logic’s unsurpassed factory direct customer service is just a phone call away. Our products are backed by over 15 years of chiller design and manufacturing experience, and still made in the USA.Note: These units are designed to maintain tanks temperatures between 65–80°F.

Flow Switches are used to cut off power to the chiller incase the water flow stops (such as a pump failure or during water changes). The Flow Switch prevents the water inside the chiller from become frozen and bursting the pipes: which will damage the chiller and cause leakage. The Flow Switch is installed in the plumbing system before the chiller and the switch is plugged in between the chiller and the controller.

Delta Star Chiller

Trimline Delta Star

Trimline Cyclone

Cyclone ChillerThe Cyclone Drop-In Coil model is the premier water chiller for professional aquarists worldwide. Its unique design has resulted in one of the most compact chillers ever built. Since no plumbing is required, installation is easy.The remote titanium heat exchanger coil is on a 5-foot flex-ible insulated line. Just place the coil in an area of a sump, wet/dry filter, or tank where it will be completely submerged at all times and get plenty of water flow. The heat exchanger has an “L” configuration with the helical coil forming the bottom of the “L” and a 7" titanium riser that connects to the flexible line. The coil diameter for all three sizes is 3" and should be placed in an area of 4" minimum water depth at all times. The coil and riser cannot be sub-merged more than 10" below the water at any time.The helical coil length is 7" for the 1/5 hp, 9" for the 1/4 hp and 10" for the 1/3 hp. The Cyclone is just as efficient as the Delta Star in-line model in cooling fresh or saltwater aquariums, and it features the same quiet operation. Features ozone-friendly refrigerant, remote digital electronic temperature controller and black ABS cover. 2-year warranty!Note: These units are designed to maintain tanks temperatures between 65–80°F

The Delta Star In-Line Water Chiller is the work-horse of the aquarium industry. It operates with the existing system water pump. The low-profile, space-saving design allows for easy place-ment in tight places. Ultra-quiet operation makes it user friendly and reliable. Water connections are 3/4" female pipe thread, compatible with standard PVC or barb-style fittings. The inlet is located below the outlet on the side of the chiller. Features remote digital electronic temperature controller, helix titanium coil, black ABS cover and ozone-friendly refrigerant. Appropriate for fresh or saltwater aquariums. 2-year warranty!Note: These units are designed to maintain tanks temperatures between 65–80°F

Current USA’s Prime Aquarium Chiller is the world’s first to offer

a heater and ultraviolet sterilizer as modular upgrades. The Prime

ships standard with the water chiller feature and ports for both

ultraviolet sterilizer and heater upgrades. Integrate the elements

you need and leave out the ones you don’t, for a single system

that will help stabilize things, both in and around your tank.

Current USA developed the Prime Chiller to address two of the

most popular concerns for home aquarists, stress management

for tank inhabitants and preserving space in and around the

aquarium. The result was an integrated water chiller that incorpo-

rates the ability for aquarists to upgrade at their pace. Users can

choose to go the full distance or upgrade as their budget allows.

Either option ensures stress relief while preserving precious space.

• Highest BTU rating in the industry.

• Removes clutter. Integrated design.

• Ultra-quiet motor.

• Fan cooled for maximum efficiency and life.

• All units include ABS cover & digital temperature controller.

IceProbe Aquarium ChillerThe IceProbe is the ideal cooling solution for small aquariums. This quiet, reliable, and efficient chiller uses advanced thermoelec-tric technology to directly convert electricity into cooling power. With its threaded probe, nylon nut, and silicon washer, the IceProbe can be easily bulkheaded through a 1.25" hole. A single IceProbe can cool 10gal of water 6–8°F below ambient air temperature in a standard aquarium. Multiple IceProbes can be used in a single aquarium to achieve higher temperature differentials. The IceProbe provides continuous chilling power. A separate temperature controller must be used to turn the device on or off at predeter-mined temperatures.

MicroChiller Aquarium ChillerThe MicroChiller provides a cooling solution for nano-reef tanks and other small aquari-ums. It also increases the flow of water in the tank that is necessary for the healthy growth of the coral. The MicroChiller uses solid-state heat pump technology, so there are no messy freon leaks or compressors that make irritating noises. Since it has so few moving parts it will provide trouble-free operation for many years. This compact chiller can bring down the temperature in a 10 gallon aquarium up to 4–6°

• No damage if left running dry

The Hydor ETH In-Line External Heater is designed for vertical use in most aquarium applications involving water hose of the specified diameter. The ETH must be used in a vertical manner for correct operation. The most common application is for use with canister filters, however the ETH is easily adapted for use in almost any situ-ation where heated aquarium water is required, such as with wet/dry sump pumps. The ETH is easily installed by cutting the tubing and connect-ing the two parts of the tube to each side of the ETH. For reduced maintenance, it is recommended that the ETH be installed within the filter’s output assembly. As most canister filters are not designed to bear weight, it is recommended that the ETH be properly supported by the use of the attached loop to avoid stress on the output assembly.The ETH is completely safe and UL listed. There is no danger of damage if the ETH is left running dry for short periods as the ETH will switch itself off in that event. The ETH heats with high efficiency by means of an internal heat pump system that avoids temperature variations. For use in freshwater and marine aquari-ums. Fits most canister filters such as the Hydor Prime, the Rena Filstar, Eheim canisters, and the Hagen Fluval canisters with the use of a short section of tubing to complete the connection.

Chillers are by far the best method of cooling an aquarium. Chillers are basically heat exchangers. Most chillers use titanium coils and a refrigerant to cool the water as it passes by the coils. There are two main types of chillers available on the market today, inline and drop-in. The inline chillers require water to be pumped through the unit. The cooling of the water will occur within the coils located inside the chiller. These chillers can be placed anywhere in relationship to the tank. For example the chiller can be placed outdoors (in a protected shelter), in a garage or in a different room as long as the user is able to pump water into the unit. The drop-in chillers have the tita-nium coils external to the actual unit. The coils need to be placed into the sump where water can pass by the coils to be cooled. The advantage to this type of a chiller is there is no plumbing needed, so it is very simple to install. One of the disadvantages of the unit is it needs to be placed right next to the sump as the coils and flexible refrigeration line coming from the chiller are normally around 3-5 feet long.

Whether the inline or drop-in chiller works best for you, it is important to allow plenty of ventilation around either unit. The chillers will give off heat while they are cooling the water. If the chiller is placed in a closed area, such as a closet or aquarium stand with out any opening, the unit will not be able to chill properly and could add extra heat to the tank.

Also it should be noted that chillers will require a temperature controller to function. Some units come with built in temperature controllers while others have external or remote controllers.
