So, it seems that the summer heat is starting to impact my tank. I have my temp set from 75.8 to 76.2 degrees through my Apex. My tank is next to a patio door and although the house is at 68 degrees, my tanking is getting up to 80.2. I have a ton of fans and fail safes to turn off lighting and cool everything off, but I think it's time for a chiller. Does anyone have one for sale, or do you have a solid recommendation. It's only a 90 with a 20 long sump. Also, putting up blinds is not an option, my wife loves the views too much, so a chiller it is.

Thanks!

Talk to Dave at fluid designers. I think he has a used one. Not sure about the size because it depends on the size of your tank.

Several on Craigs List. Get one with a dual stage thermostat. The apex is fine, but the temp points will be different with 2 controllers, so better to just use the one on the chiller. Also, the ones on chillers can handle like 10-30 amps (sometimes) and you can run a pretty big tank with them.
