A 30 % sulfuric acid solution is generally more aggressive than what standard titanium heat exchangers are rated for under typical operating conditions. Titanium can withstand many corrosive environments well, but concentrated sulfuric acid at room temperature usually leads to measurable attack.
The heat exchanger in an aquarium chiller like the JBJ Arctica isn’t engineered for chemical process service with concentrated acids — it’s mainly for water or aqueous fluids with benign chemistry.

Running 30% sulfuric acid through the chiller coil could lead to accelerated corrosion of the titanium over time, potentially causing leaks, reduced heat transfer efficiency, and premature failure.
