What temp. did your tank hit today with the heat?
Mine maxed out at 81. That's with 3 250w DE MH on all day too. Very happy with that. Tomorrow though will be a challenge since it'll be even hotter in the Lower Mainland. May have to use my new AC unit after all.

must be nice. my tank every day goes from 80 in am to 83 in pm with 3 400w's. i have central air in the house so the outside temp doesnt effect it. i have debated on getting a chiller but nothing in the tanks has evered showed any signs of suffering.

It's been hella hot here in Calgary at times already this summer, and I live on the top floor of a condominium complex. The highest I've seen my tank is 82.5. Not too bad I guess.

82.5 isn't that bad. Last summer in my condo mine peaked at 89F. This year my tank is in the basement, where I can take the lid off when it gets hot. Temp range has been 78.5 to 79.5 all day and night.

83 degrees using 2x150W over a 50g. I suspect that may go up this summer, if we get a true summer
 , so I'm going to mount my MH fixture from the ceiling so that I can increase the distance between the fixture and the tank.When I had the Corallife 1x150W on the tank temperature increase wasn't a problem.
