ya tank is in basement and I do have AC.  I seroiulsy chillers are rediculous.  Have you ever been to a actual coral reef before? The water is rarely ever below 80 degrees.  Yet in this hobby we think 79 is ideal.  When actually the Great Barrier reef sits from 82-85 degrees.  My current 90 gallon sits at 79 without the heater on at all.  Its plugged in so at night if it needs to kick on a little it will.  MH will raise my temp I figure maybe 2 or 3 more degrees, which again is no concern. People overexagerate heat issues in my opinion and companies did a great job marketing chillers.  Unless you have seroius heat issues, like your tank gets up to 88 because you live in California and don't have AC, ok fine get a chiller.  As for us Canadians, were all good.
