I am thinking of getting a aquarium, at least 50 gallons. Are their any
places to get good deals on aquariums? Also, with a average room temp
of 80, what kind of chiller would be needed to have a temp of 60 in the
aquarium? How much would this cost?

You really dont need a chiller... plus a chiller costs as much as what a 55
aquarium setup would cost.

What do you mean by 55 aquarium? 55 degree or 55 gallon?

He is telling you that the cost of a adequete chiller would be more
than the remainder of costs attributed to the setup of a 55 (gallon)
aquarium. Again, why do you need the water to be this cold? This is a
project that many experienced aquarists would shun.

You really don't need a chiller. I checked prices 3/4 years ago and they
+ the controllers were close to $1,000. But I'm curious - why do you
think or need a chiller?
