anyone using ice probe chillers? I have a single 5gal dwc bucket i grow in. its in a 2x2.5 tent in my uninsulated detached garage. Live in SE VA near the ocean. Gets hot as hell and more humidity than you can cut through lol. Have a window unit plumbed into the tent which end of last summer when i first started kept the air temps ok but not so much the water. I generally run 3 to 3.5 gal of water in my bucket when my air gap is right. Just wondering if a probe will get my water under 72F when its 80F plus outside( tent will stay in low 70s with ac unit). Seeing as they are pricey, dont wanna waste un-needed money. Thanks!

I have watched a journal of one in use and it seem to keep things from 66-69 with its use.
Not sure if it has a thermostat for control to zone in on a temp but that would be an easy resolve with a inkbird.

I'm not going to say yes it will for sure but 3.5 gal I think it would work. I want to try it out but don't have the budget.

Grow in coco maybe. Seems hydro may not be best for your situation.
I will win one way or the other and I did. Work has been retarded busy so haven't had much forum time. However got the chiller in my bucket, keeps my temps perfect. In the mid 60s with 70s ambient in tent and 80s and 90 ambient in the garage. Will post pics when I get a chance.
