Advice for chiller/tank cooler

[Fungus]

What would you suggest for cooling a 10g reef tank? I'm concerned for this summer because last year we had a week-long heatwave with indoor temperatures around 90F. Fans? Nano chiller? It would be good to have something low maintenance if we had to leave town for several days.

An ordinary desk fan blowing at the surface should help cool considerably. Just make sure it cannot fall into the tank.

Thanks Tim. I guess I would have to open the glass top too. How long could I keep this going before the salt becomes too concentrated? Just concerned if I'm not around to keep the water topped off.

i put a clip on fan on my 10g sump and it keeps the temp down nicely
