No chiller and I have never had a problem with my tank getting too warm but I am not running Metal Halides for lighting only T5's. Besides, I live in Kelowna and couldn't tolerate the heat in the summer without central A/C.

hmm ok, reason I am asking is I am moving to Kamloops in the summer, and most of the places we are looking at have central AC, but I will be using MH so I am trying to figure out how much of a differance central AC will make in temp flux.

i have central air, was considering buying a chiller to keep my temp down. but currently my tank temp is about 79 at the end of my 8 hour MH lighting cycle. i used 5 computer fans after i paniced when i saw my tank at 85-86 before the fans. i currenly have my house setting at 21 celcius.
i have never thought of buying a chiller before this incident but after putting 750w over my 92 gal i was worried that my ac would not pull the temp of tank down enough unless i sacrificed comfort/freezing the family. seems i managed to pull through though. i may still get a chiller just to be safe. and would like the house to be 1 degree warmer. so it depends on how much you need to pull down, if only a few degrees then ac would be fine, if you need to drop your tank by alot then you would have to be living in a cold house to keep the tank down. |

That all depends on what part of town you are moving to and where the tank is in your house. I have a tank that gets the sun all day and i need a chiller all the time.
