Cooling a room/fish tank

[jericholic]

Anyone got some ideas that dont include a chiller? I just put some haldies on my 65 and its so dang hot i can only run one (and water stays in 80s)

<p style="text-align:left">Do you have any fans blowing air across the top of the tank and/or across the MHs? I'm getting ready to add a MH to my 72g and am worried about the same thing but I'm told with fans I should be okay.

I raised my lighting to 16" above the water surface AND installed a fan. Now my temps average 78 with the MH's on.

What's wrong with a tank temp in the 80's? Mine runs between 79.9 and 81.5 all the time.
