This is one thing that with the larger tank volume, I might get away with. I simply don't know until I try it. What I don't like about this approach is that it may work great 99% of the time but the one time I'm away for a week and it's really hot out (and all windows are closed because I'm away) and BLAMMO.....tank crash.

At least the chiller will kick in if needed.

Only problem with evap cooling is the increase in humidity in your home and all the negatives that go along with it unless you vent.

Overall I've got about 200g and even without the fans I'll still evaporate 2-3g per day.
