Well my new tank room after the light's (1300watts of metal halide) being on for a few hours, is about 15 degrees warmer than the rest of the basement. I don't need a chiller as long as I have a fan blowing on the sump and the exhaust fan with a humidistat set to come on at about 45% humidity. When it comes on it sucks the cold air from the rest of the basement into the room. The fan blowing on the sump is on for about 1 hour before and after the halides are on.

Of course I don't live in BC and having the tank in the basement helps alot.
