Anyone have any recommendations on a water chiller that could cool an RDWC system with 6x 18gallon tubs and a 40-50 gallon reserve res?

I’ve never used a water chiller period... anyone have any experience?

Thanks in advance all
So total volume is gonna be in the 150-gallon range? You'd probably want a 1/4hp (or better yet 1/2hp) chiller and would probably want to go with whatever the highest-flow pump that chiller can work with. 1/4hp from Active Aqua for example could do a 925gph pump; 1/2hp can handle 1600gph...

Do some shopping around as chillers are pricy. You could probably also consider throwing a few chiller probes into the walls of the control reservoir - you'd need several given the water volume, but depending on brand of the big chiller it may wind up being less expensive going w probes.

Well looks like you're doing it right from where I'm sitting lol. Never tried a cheese strain.
I did a blue cheese from Barneys back in 2012 and it was pretty delicious. This was a freebie from Barneys and everything Ive grown from them has been proper so I figured why not. It has a great structure so far. I'm loving using the rhino skin after their manifold is completed, their trunks have doubled in size in a week.

Just out of curiosity, have you tried a control box around your res with AC to keep it cool? Seems like a much cheaper alternative. Just a thought.

I've never had a bitch about Barney's either. Always solid genetics.

Does it taste like cheese?

The triple cheese isnt even in flower yet, the blue cheese I think took on a blueberry flavor instead of cheese. Hoping this one will taste like some straight parmesan or some shit haha
Cheese and weed... I dunno lol.

I've had a few that tasted like a Christmas tree lol. Wasn't a fan of those either.
