I'm not allowed any of those ones that install in the window. Its part of my buildings bylaws.
I do have a sliding padio door which is right beside my tank. I think I even left enough room to put an AC unit there. But I will probably have to buy some sort of adaptor to fit the full sliding door. lol greg i'm not that rich. I think I can afford one for 600sq' and just keep my bedroom door closed during the day

I picked up a used 13000 BTU portable AC unit off craigslist for $100. I thought it would be great, but it draws 13 amps and blows the breaker all the time since it's the same as the tank is on. I put a window unit in the room that's a dinky little 5000 BTU unit, runs lots, but keeps the room at 78 and my tank stays fine at that.
Depends on the size of room you are in, I had a 10K BTU portable in my townhouse and it couldn't cool my tank because it was an open area design and was trying to cool the whole main floor. My tank now has a small fishroom that i can cool easially with a 5K BTU unit.

"Renzo" - if you get a brand new portable AC unit - they come with a patio door adapter. it pretty much looks like a two by four with a hole in it that you wedge between the door and where the door would be in the closed position. My friend has on in her appt - it does a $hit job of cooling compared to the window units but its better than nothing. are you able to put in a split/ductless unit? Don't know what your financial position is but they are effecient and work very well. They look like this; https://panasonic.ca/english/applian...oner/index.asp
