I have central air but I pop a couple fans over the sumps. If it's not real hot outside the AC wont kick on as much which means, paradoxically, the tanks get warmer when it's say 22 outside than when its 31 outside. I have a couple extra box/muffin fans onhand all the time. I love Princess Auto for that sort of thing.

I figured my temp jumped to 82* yesterday as my ceiling fan was off. Today with it on we are at a steady 79*
That fan must really be cooling my tank.

I haven't checked the temp yet this year, but I'm upgrading lights this week, so might have to buy a thermometer. If I run into problems, I'll buy a small AC unit for my sump room, as my sump is bigger than my tank and should keep everythng cool.

Were back to rain so no more heat for us.

And lots of it!
Things are starting to heat up here (finally!). I splurged 9 bucks for a clip-on fan at Canadian Tire and will try pointing it into my sump. Quote:
