I have my 120 G with 2x 250W Metal Halides and T5 in the basement (which of course is cooler to begin with) and I use nothing to cool the tank. My temp fluctuates from 78-81 (Max) and thats it. I have found that having a halide free period for an hour in the middle of the day allows the tank to cool down slightly and has actually helped.

My tank is in the basement, never had a problem with the temp staying where it should be. A couple of fans will work well though.

Fans blowing across top of tank. Central AC. HRV to control the insane humidity.
