I run the AC all day here in the summer!

Yes. Mainly because I like a cool house when I get home and I also don't want to cook my dog while I'm at work.
re.gf...thanks keith,...she's moving very slowly,..poor thing it's tough watching her in pain ,...but i think the worst is behind her.Hope your Gf recovers quick. We too are having the heat up north of you Dary and I haven't purchased a chiller for the frag room yet. Was waiting for my wholesale account to become active and it just so happened to be today. Found out though they only have Aqua Euro (anyone use those got feedback?) chillers up to 1/4 hp. I was hoping to get a 1/3 hp but oh well. Now I just need time off work to go there and get it lol. Hope the beer stays cold for ya and the weather gets more comfortable!

i know that the chillers can be a costly little investment upfront but as everyones weather heats up as stated itll pay for itself in no time,...kind of nice to know its working even when you're not around to watch it. it's all about piece of mind.
Yeah keeping the corals at a steady temp really helps. I installed one on my DT last year and I really like that brand and style. Was hoping to get another but probably will go with the AE for now. What brand do you use?
I keep the AC on 70 in the summer and the heat on 69 in the winter. My tank stays around 79.

I always did this and there was a time I used halides, but for a couple years before the LEDs I used T5s. The T5 kept the water every bit as warm ad the halides did.What was it before LEDs? Didn't you use MH?

I've got one of those old external heaters that looks like a little fire hydrant. Guess its about 500 watts and only comes on in the winter. It is way too small for my system (500 gallons) but keeps the system from getting super cold. Need a bigger one.
