Is thermoelectric technology enough to substitute a conventional chiller?

[J.Rullan]

The cost of operating my aquariums has increased a lot since I started the hobby. I found a necessity to cut corners in terms of operating costs in all my aquariums. So I wonder if you could share your thoughts and experience using thermoelectric technology in your tanks, and if there are ways of making this technology more efficient while keeping the electric bill down?

In small tanks like nano, yes they do work. They just aren't efficient enough for anything larger.

I use a large box fan over my 120g and never saw it over 79 here in S. Cal this summer. Just be mindful of the increase evaporation though.

Thank you for your information. I had a six-pack cooler that I upgraded using better case fans and the temperature improved by far, I wonder if something can be done to those to obtain a better efficiency? Anyone?
