Hi,

So living in Australia and the average temp in summer being close to 40 degrees Celsius, frozen water bottles and ice packs just don’t do the trick anymore - I need a chiller!!

Does anyone know good brands (preferably Australian and cheap) of aquarium chillers?

What would I need for a 20 gallon tank (about 80L or less I can’t remeber) that doesn’t upset flow and such - I can’t find any and I have no idea what I’m looking for!! I’d like to sort this as soon as possible... please help!!
 
I would be also interested in learning something about chillers from our other Aussie axolotl keepers!

My tank has not completed cycling yet but I would like to have a temperature control in, prior to purchasing my Axolotl.
 
I'm in the U.S. so I'm not sure how much this will help but I ordered one off Amazon. You will probably need a water pump as well.

    Hey everyone, just want a little advice. Its 55 - 60 celcius in my Salamanders tank. Hes curled up and tyring ti bury himself, Im assuming hes too cold. I was wondering if he would benefit from a heated rock cave (since he LOVES his cave) that I could set on low? I NEVER see him curled up and trying to bury himself unless his tank sits at 63 degrees celcius or lower. So I am assuming hes a little uncomfortable.

    He also seems a little sluggish, again, assuming hes cold. Having heating trouble with the new house right now. What do we think? Was thinking of grabbing this for him since its got very low, medium, and higher medium heat settings that exude heat downward inside the rock cave but ALSO exudes it UPWARDS outside of the rock cave, effectively keeping the tank itself a little warm. Seems like it miiiight be a little small for him though, my guy is about 7 inches from tip of his nose tothe tip of his tail. What do we think? https://www.amazon.com/Reptile-Simulation-Adjustable-Temperature-Tortoise/dp/B0CH1DPGBC
