Unless you have problems with overheating year round, I highly reccommend a window air conditioner instead of a chiller. Not only have my tanks not gone over 82 but my livingroom is a great place to be right now and it cost less then $500 last year at canadian tire.

I thought of something might be stupid but freeze a bottle of water and place it in the sump.

You can always freeze blocks of RODI water and just drop them in your sump too.

Hey Christy...I just read that thread the other day and thought of you, I guess no matter how bad you think you have it, someone has it worse!

Yup, one of THE most awesome tanks I have ever seen - gone.

It wasn't an inspiration for me or anything, but I'd be a damned fool if I couldn't see all the time and dedication for the hobby put into that tank. It was simply stunning enough in photos.

You mean those corals aren't supposed to look like that?
