No i dont have a chiller, i did however have some heating issues at first but i decided to try a cheaper method of keeping it cool. I went to canadian tire and bought 2 maybe 5 inch diameter desktop fans ( $10 each ) and mounted them on the wall to blow into the open back part of the tank. Two fans worked to good so i just have one going now, it comes on when the metal halides come on with the use of a timer. Now it stays at 76-78 even with the hot weather we have had in calgary as of late. At times i have to turn the second one on but very rarely. I have to add a little more water than without the fans, but water is alot cheaper than a chiller! lol. Actually these cheap fans are remarkably quiet too.
