My house is currently at about 82F! Last summer my 60 cube hit 85F and I lost some sps. This year I plumbed the filter 14ft below into the basement. I put a 4ft 50g sump in with a reeflo blowhole pump. The tank was at 82F yesterday. I put a small clamp fan on the sump and bam 78F. :-D

I just installed an ac unit into my fish room. Holding tank at 78 degrees.

Ac unit is the best thing ever

Got home from camping yesterday and checked my tank - was creeping up to 84. Nothing looked ****ed off though. I've had a fan running on it all weekend - like the bagged ice idea, will have to get some made up.

My house was sitting at 31 yesterday....was cooler in the trailer this weekend without the a/c running....

My tank hit 86F when I woke up yesterday morning, with no ill effects to anything. The fish were all swimming around, the corals were out and there was no sign of any danger. I needed to top off, but that was the extent of it. I added 5g of 75F water to it and everything seemed to have been fine. This morning (after cranking the AC of course) it's now staying at 80 all day. Whew!

No ac that's my problem, my place is a solid 95 degrees and tanks sitting at 83....,been only running my lights late nights. Mostly everything is looking good though I have a severly peeved maxi mini I'm worried about and think I'm going to loose a Kenya tree I just picked up

I just finished an attached garage reno. We made sure to put R40 at least in the attic space. The main house is lucky if it has R15. The main house was 28 deg yesterday and the garage was a bearable 24 deg. Want to save money on air con and help the tanks? Way cheaper in the long run to rent a blower and add more insulation to the attic..... That's what im doing next week. :-)
