Chiller set up question

[Thomsona]

Hello

So I finally got a chiller to assist with the Aussie summer

Now my tank heater is set to 26 what do I set the chiller to? 26 or higher the stupid thing didn't come with instructions

 

[Pschmitt]

I have my chiller set to 78 and the heater to 76.

 

[Thomsona]

So set the chiller 2 degrees higher

 

[Pschmitt]

Yes. There is usually about a 1.5 to 2 degree difference when the unit kicks on. Example, mine is set to 78 and will usually kick in around 79 or 80 then stop around 77. That's why I keep the heater at 76.
