The usual for me:
- chiller as a last resort (OMG the power consumption and extra heat in the room is brutal!)
- fans, in the canopy, one pushing air in and one pulling it out, and over the sump
- if the power goes out, frozen bottles of water or frozen bags of water I keep on hand
- keep my blinds closed
- move my lighting from 10am-6pm, to 6pm-2am, and reduce my MH use by a couple of hours.
- move my lighting higher (worked in the past pretty well)

AC is on in the whole house...but the room that the tanks are in still heats up a bit...so have fans blowing at the sump and an Icecap fan in the top....all doors on cabinet and top open....seems to work ok.

AC in the house and fans on the sump. Fortunately, it doesn't get that hot here.
