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.
