I bought a portable air conditioner. Acts to keep a few rooms nice and cool and the tank temp in check. I was going to buy a chiller but this way we stay cool as well

Glad you got your problem dealt with... I had heat issues until I spent 10 bucks on on a fan. A 6" fan blowing directly on the MH fixture and my temp is 80 F at all times. Never varies, with the tank almost completely covered in glass.

Central AC for me. Keeps everyone in the house from over heating, including the aquatic inhabitants :-)

Oh for sure, my living room never rises above 22C. Love my 10 000 BTU an hour AC.
