considering adding a chiller since half my new system will be in the garage, total 500 gals what do you have that you like?
Plus it'll keep the humidity down.Just AC the whole garage and turn it into your new fish tank building, duh. What else are you going to do with that big acrylic tank?!
The portable a/c I have is a 110v. The only downside is having to vent it. I ended up getting a 6" louvered vend cover and mounted it in the garage door since I didn't want to drill through the brick or run the exhaust to the attic. Works really well for this. My next door neighbor mounted a window unit into the side door of his garage, then built a 10' x 10' enclosed space in that corner of the garage for working on his models.Thanks lots of choices here. Hoping to stay away from 220.
I installed a mini-split in my garage. Just a 12k BTU 220v one. I had a couple extra outlets installed and had a 220v plug outside the garage installed for my generator. I bought long shower curtains (see through) in that back area where the mini-split is so that if I'm working back there on something I can make it cool as needed. That's also where all my tools are. I keep the temp at 25c (77f) on auto. Will probably increase it to 26 or 27c now that summer is coming.The portable a/c I have is a 110v. The only downside is having to vent it.
