I wish my tank only rose by 1 degree. The old tank we had usually ran 4 degrees hotter than room temp, so I had to keep the house at around 76 degrees - Brrrrr - the wife was freezing.
It costs too much to chill the whole house continuously. There's 1800 watts of A/C here  It was very noticable on the next utility bill.The chiller is only 280 watts, so it'll have to do the majority of the work. On the plus side, I run the A/C in my office when I need it while I'm surfing, so it should benefit the tank through the sump.

Aaahhhh ... I forgot you live in a BIG house
 I am jealous ! I live in a small 1 bedroom apartment. I hear you, my air conditioner is sucking 1800W for each too. But I can't let the fish enjoy all the cool with the chiller and let us suffer with the heat, so we bought the air conditioners instead  I showed my husband all the pictures from your sump and your electrical boards (because I want him to do it for me the same) and he said he couldn't believe they were built from someone that is just getting into reef hobby. He said you must have done a lot of homework beforehand and must be a very talent handy person too. Unfortunately, I don't have a husband who has a talent like you

More compliments ! My head is swelling
 Your husband's right. I starting reading here back in Oct and haven't stopped since - hours and hours every day. I bet, with enough reading, he'd be able to get done what you need.

I am in awe of your system. I know who's brain I will be picking when I tear mine down and go bigger.
Can't wait to see this kitten purr.

you've taken perfectionism to new levels with that sump and equipment room I'm impressed! Looks like it will be pretty nice working on things in there which is 50% of the battle (the other half being luck).

Thank you Brett. Compliments from a guy with such a beautiful tank, cool fish room and impressive room build
 It's funny how just wanting a clean-looking DT has progressed to such a monster sump build. Well, it's monster considering it's all for a 75g It's worth everything I'm doing knowing that, besides a quiet living room, I can putz away whenever I like and not disturb the wife's down-time
