Question: Is this chiller any good?

[ladygodiva35]

I'm wanting to finally buy a chiller for my 20 gallon long tank. I'm trying to get it to keep my temperature at 64F and this is in my price range.
Would this be easy to set up and does it work good?

I have no idea about that but I do have a chiller in my 30 gallon tank. This is the one I have

How does that hook up to the aquarium? I just have one of those tetra whisper filters and how cool does it get your tank? My tank with a frozen water bottle gets to under 64F but lasts about 3-4 hours. I don't want to get higher than 68F now that the hotter months are approaching.

I have it hooked up through my canister. So I have the intake coming from the aquarium to the canister. The the outtake from the canister goes to the intake of the chiller and from the chiller it goes back into the tank. It may sound complicated but it truly isn't.

Oh and the temperature is always between 63 - 66 degrees. I just set the thermostat and not worry about it again.
