before then central air, couple of muffin fans (evap cooling) over the sump on a thermostat kept everything okay. Still have the fan just hardly come on now.

Is surprising how much you can evaporate daily so a ATO is handy.

I had a 150W MH over a 20g tank on the main floor and it never got above 82 degrees without A/C. I have since switched to T5's so I think it'll be even less of a problem. I used an open top with MH's also so that really helps. I wouldn't rush out to buy a chiller without trying a fan and open top first, or maybe your tank will be just fine as is.
