## Overview

The IceProbe Thermoelectric Aquarium Chiller is a compact, efficient cooling device designed for small to medium aquariums. Utilizing advanced thermoelectric technology, it quietly lowers water temperature by up to 8°F below ambient, ensuring a stable environment for aquatic life. With a 6-foot probe cord and 5'9" power cord, it offers flexible installation options. Ideal for tanks up to 40 gallons, it requires an external temperature controller for precise operation and can be scaled with multiple units for larger or warmer setups. Backed by a one-year warranty, it’s the go-to solution for millennial aquarium enthusiasts seeking reliable, quiet, and customizable cooling.

## Description

This is the ideal cooling solution for small aquariums. This quiet, reliable efficient chiller uses advanced thermoelectric technology to directly convert electricity into cooling power. Can be easily bulkheaded through a 1 1/4". hole into siphon overflows, prefilters, sumps or even directly into plastic aquariums. Provides continuous chilling when plugged in to a power source, it does not have an on/off switch. A separate temperature controller must be used to turn the device on or off at pre-determined temperatures. A single IPAC-50W chiller can cool 10 gallons of water 6F to 8F, 20 gallons of water 3F to 4F and 40 gallons of water 1F to 2F below ambient air temperature in a standard aquarium. For greater cooling multiple units can be used.

Review: Works and fits in a JBJ Nanocube 28 Wifi LED tank - The good: - Extremely quiet. Only a 3.5" computer fan turning during operation - Works on a 28 Gal aquarium to cool to 79 Deg F - Fits into the back sump of my nano tank with a little customization The bad (nothing too bad): - The unit might not be enough if you live in a very warm place without indoor Air Conditioning in your home. - It is quite bulky. It did work in my tank, but with some customization. My probe doesnt fully submerge, but I am not using it per the instructions. Overall I am still pleased. - There is no temperature controller included. You will need to purchase one if you dont want your heater and cooler both running and fighting each other. My install: Even though our home is air conditioned, the pumps, skimmer an lights added heat to our tank. It is only June and we were getting up to 81 Deg F. Our target temp is 79 Deg F, so we needed a solution. I took off the plastic nut from the probe, and also removed the foam insulation from the upper part of the probe. In my JBJ tank, I simply fit it as far down as I could with the bottom of the main plastic base sitting on the back of the tank. In this configuration, the probe is 1" - 1 1/2" into the water which is enough to cool the tank. This unit does not have its own temperature controller. For this, I used the InkBird ITC-308 purchased from desertcart. This unit is capable of running both a chiller and a heater. I hooked both into the InkBird and set my desired temp at 79 Deg F. I then set the offset for heating to 1 Deg F and cooling to 1 Deg F (which is the minimum on the Inkbird). When I installed this on my tank, the tank temperature was reading 80.8 Deg F. It took about 2 hours for this unit to cool the tank to 79 Deg F. While running now, I can see the temp on the Inkbird creep up to 80 Deg F. Once it hits 80, the cooler turns on and drops it back down to 79 in about 30 minutes. It has no problem keeping my tank at 79. If you live in a very warm climate and do not have air conditioning, a single unit of this size will probably not be sufficient to cool your tank. The company recommends using more than 1 unit to achieve a higher temperature drop. I would consider after needing 2 of these to just go the chiller route.
Review: It works as advertised - I bought this thing for a 7 gallon recirculating aeroponics system. My reservoirs has about 4 gallons at any given time. And BEFORE I purchased this thing, I would constantly have to put frozen water bottles in my reservoir to lower the temps from mid 70’s down to as close to 68 degrees as possible. Every day I’d have to do this, which was getting to be a pain. So I bought this chiller on a whim and hoped it would keep my temps down. Well, it keeps my temps in my reservoir down below 70 degrees without the need to insert any more frozen water bottles. The product keeps temps about 8 degrees below the air temperature in the room that the fan to this chiller is in. If you are looking to lower temps more than 8 degrees, then you might want to look for something else. The chiller is also pretty slow to chill my 7 gallon recirculating reservoir. But, it keeps the temps below my threshold. So for that, I gave the product 5 stars.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I need this for a axolotl tank, what exactly do I need to fully operate this device? Any help?**
A: All you would need is an outlet but if you want limit how cold the water gets you would need temperature controller. I also put a larger fan behind the probe to help get rid of the heat on the heat sync. Not exactly sure what an axolotl requires to keep but I hope this helps.

**Q: For ten gallons in an 86°F room, how much will this cool my nutrient solution in a DWC hydroponic system?**
A: Docs say it will lower 10gals 6 to 8 degrees from ambient room temp.

**Q: Would this product work on a 6 gallon fluval edge aquarium? thanks very much!**
A: I would like to help you here, however, this is sort of a trick question. Without knowing exactly what you need to do, I'll try and make this short. The ice probe does a really good job chilling liquids, close to the probe that is! I do know quite a bit about aquariums, salt and fresh water. Now... The probe will chill water that is in the area of the probe itself, being an aquarium application you must have some magic number for the number of gallons filtered per min, hour, etc. The water filtration ( or exchange of tank water vs filtered water returned to the tank ) is the key to whether or not the probe will work for you. If for example you insert the probe into your aquarium wall directly, no water flowing past it, it will chill to a point. If you had the ability to install it in the filter (canister, wet/dry, or whatever type you have) it would be more effective due to the rate at which warmer water is moving past it. If installing it in your filter is not feasible, you could use a power head or another submersible pump to circulate water past the probe. That covers the efficiency part! Now the only other question is how much do you need to decrease the temperature!? I will be honest, I did not buy my probes for aquarium use, I bought them for home brewing. To be more specific, I have a 15 gallon insulated stainless steel fermentation vessel. I have 4 ice probes installed. If I fill the fermenter with 15 gallons of 70-75 degree wort, with the probes on nonstop, in about 12 hours I can reach roughy freezing temperatures, 32-35 degrees f. I am an electrical engineer who enjoys home brewing! I do use temperature controllers to run the probes, if I set the temp on all 4 to 30 degrees f, it will freeze in a couple of days! I apologize for almost writing a novel here but maybe my experiences with these devices can help you make your decision. If you are looking to just shave a few degrees off of your tanks water temp, this should work just fine for you. Just keep in mind circulating the water past the probe, same as you would a powerful tank heater. Good luck on your endeavor! Overall I've been very satisfied with the 4 that I own, going on about 3 years and absolutely no issues!

**Q: Anyone used a 1.25" uniseal to attach this to a curved tank ?  Would it leak ? Already had one leaking from a 5 gal bucket only using the bulkhead.**
A: I have mine attached to a round 5 gallon bucket, and mine does not leak. Ensure that you tighten it well.

### ⭐ Works like a charm (for 2 weeks) if you insulate properly
*by P***J on June 11, 2022*

Updated UPDATE: Seller appears to be dodging responsibility. Wants me to ship device back and wait for a refund, which of course means opening a big gaping hole in the side of my tank which it just so happens to plug. I have been working on this for months and have personally invested a lot of money. I am doing privately funded research and design in an attempt to start a business and it looks like this $150 chiller is going to break me. To say that I am distraught is a serious understatement. This is so messed up. I honestly can't believe this is actually happening right now. UPDATE: After a few weeks of perfect function there is no longer any heat transfer from the fins even though the fan is still running and now not only do I have a hole in my tank, but everything will be dead in a matter of days. Completely broken hearted right now. I had such high hopes for this thing. Its definitely holding up its end of the bargain. Anyone having trouble with this product just needs to step up their insulation game a bit and make sure the fins have plenty of airflow. You ain't gonna circumvent the laws of thermodynamics, but it will do the job. Very happy. Thanks much.
