1/4 JBJ Chiller HP Arctica - 115V - Built for Stability and Sized for Simplicity
The 1/4 JBJ Chiller HP Arctica 115V brings high-efficiency cooling to midsize reef and freshwater systems without eating up space—or running loud like an old generator. It’s compact, reliable, and made to keep your tank temperature steady, even when summer decides to crank the thermostat.
Let’s Talk Cooling: The Core of the 1/4 JBJ Chiller HP Arctica 115V
At the heart of this chiller is JBJ’s signature titanium heat exchanger. Titanium isn't just buzzword fluff—it's what allows this unit to resist saltwater corrosion while pulling heat from the system fast and consistently. That matters if you're running a reef tank with sensitive SPS or a freshwater planted setup that can't tolerate swings.
