How stable do you keep your temperature?

I'm certainly not selling my chiller I'll say that. It's underpowered for the volume I run now but I need to see how things work in the summer. Basement will still be cool but it's safe to assume not quite as cool.

Someone was over yesterday and when I explained how the ranco worked and that i didn't want to run a chiller due to energy use they reminded me of my lighting. guess i gotta try where i can tho

Every watt counts.

I've never seen my tank above 81/82 and that was at the tail end of a heatwave, stands to reason because you have more water volume and lower wattage lighting you should be fine.
