I have a 55 gal with duel 175 MH lights and I can see a temp problem this summer. Currently, on warmer days, the water temp has approached 83°.
I won't be getting a chiller. Just too much money and far too much space. I have two fans (30 cfm, max, each) and they seem to help but not much. I wish there was a "cooling coil" that I could just drop in the sump that would cool the water as it flowed under the tank prior to returning.
What does everybody else do to maintain there temp? Ideas are much appreciated. Maybe bigger, more cfm fans?
