AC for the aquarium and for me here. I cannot survive in the heat so the AC was a must.

My aquarium water never really fluctuate.

I use frozen bottles of water in my tank. One ~375ml bottle can drop my temp from 86 to 83 in30-40 mins, so it's pretty effective... When I'm home that is.

My Seahorse is in a 20 gallon in my kitchen, it has an aquarium fan blowing 24/7 but yesterday the temp got to 79 even still, so today the game plan is to move her to the basement. No easy task.

ditto my 2.5g with a fan blowing on it still got to 81

My 55 + 15 gal sump got to 79.7 yesterday. Today it's gonna be 7 deg hotter.

The 79.7 was with my apex controller running fans (3) and eventually shut down my day lights as well I don't want it spiking over 80.

My range is 77-79.5

That's a really good idea, I'm gonna try it.
