Hopefully the chiller wasn't too expensive. I looked into using fish tank chillers last summer and what I found started at about $300 for a chiller for 15 gallons. I gave up that Idea at that point. I couldn't justify that expense not to mention the electricity to run it. As bad as our ground is here I think using Geothermal energy is the way to go. I can put together a heck of a setup for $300, and not pay a dime for electricity.
