I just run a fan in my sump when its hot. Temp never has been above 82. Crossing fingers.

I mean I guess I could try this, but if it doesn't keep the temp down and I go to J&L to get a chiller and find out they are sold out then I guess my only option is bags of ice lol.

When I fire up my wood stove downstairs in the winter, my tank bumps up to just shy of 81. I normally keep it around 77-78. I haven't noticed any ill effects from that much temp rise.
