I lost all my coral last weekend due to overheating. I have a 20 long with a 10 gallon sump... total water volume minus rocks is around 20. My tank got up to 88 degrees.

I've found an Aqua Euro 1/10 for a great price and I like it because it's oversized and good if I ever upgrade.

I also found a current USA 1/15 for a good price and these will turn off your heater if the chiller needs to be activated.

What do you all think?

well

a cooler room makes a cooler tank..many of your pumps will generate heat but mainly its your room and lighting.if you adequitly ventilate your lighting and have a reasonably cool room you should be able to keep the tank at ideal tempatures.thats the way i roll.i have too many tank to have chillers for so i simply keep my house at 75-76 and my tank stay at 78-81 and the higher temp tank being a nano cube desighn with enclosed lighting..i would look into that..
