AC, chiller and fans. I'm not kidding around with heat. My 55g has a 1/10hp chiller and my nano has an ice-probe and computer fan. So far so good
 That said, it really hasn't been that warm here (aside a few days, and one week) so it really hasn't been a big deal.

tank cooling
My 80g is in the basement and has a chiller on it. It stays at 77 with 2x250 metal halides.
I am currently putting a 220g together. It will have it's own 10'x10' room in the basement. My 80gal will be pulled down and be put in the 220. the chiller is not big enough for the new tank so I will be adding a through wall a/c unit.

Basement! My new setup is in the basement, and I now have to keep my heater on as the tank will drop to 73-75 no problemo. It works well for me, because my tank stays at a constant 78 now
On my old system running 250w HQI , having the tank upstairs, I was getting 85+ every day. So this is a nice change.

I was at 82 yesterday and thats with a chiller. Turned the lights off for a bit and it is back to normal now. Looks like my chiller is a bit on the small side.
 Should be interesting for me in the winter as I have a air tight wood stove in the same room. One more reason I bought my chiller probably will need to run mine in the winter as well.

I float large RO/Di Ice cubes that also act as top off. One cube can bring temp down 2-3 degrees C.
