first sorry for my english!

I am in the hobby of tropical reef tank since 8 years. Now I want to start a coldwater nano, 10-30 gallons. A good chiller is needed to push down the temperature to around 40-50. Im planning to buy a used aquanetic chiller 1/5hp. This chiller would be enough? any long term issue on the chiller?
