can a 3 hp chiller cool multiple resivoirs?

[Cannasuer]

I am looking at buying 1 3 hp chiller that is capable of cooling 3000 gallons 10 degrees but Im only planning on cooling a 1000 gallons, 10 separate 100 gallon resivoirs does any one know if its possible to connect 10 separate resivoirs to 1 chiller?

Its really a matter of convenience to use just 1 instead of using 10 separate chillers and having to sacrifice 10 outlets and 3 20 amp breakers to run them all when using 1 on one outlet 1 20 amp breaker for 1 big chiller not to mention it would save me atleast 2 grand. Anyway I have never used even a small chiller so I know nothing about them so any info would be welcomed, thanks.

Not unless the chiller has multiple lines, which it probably doesn't. Can you use one rez?

I dont know if it does or not but coudnt I buy one that does have multiple lines? How do fish stores cool multiple tanks?

There isn't much need to cool fish tanks if the ambient temperature is properly cooled. They just make sure they run plenty of dissolved oxygen using bubblers or a waterfall effect.

I don't see why you can't reduce the number of reservoirs. Are you using trays?

The only way I can see it is if you can connect the reservoirs with large hoses or PVC and have the chiller in one of them. That should atleast cool the temperature by a few degrees.

I guess I could use just 1 huge res its just I wanted to do like 4 seperate strains, pre 98 bubba, master kush, apothecary og kush and sour d and they all have different nute requirements well the master and bubba do fine on the same res but the SD & OG are finicky as hell and I need them on separate resivoirs, I guess il just do master and bubba til I could afford more chillers.

They say smoking buds not addicting but growing it is, il tell you what this by far the most expensive addiction or hobby or whatever it is that I ever had!
