when my chiller was down, i find that blowing a standing fan (for human use, not those small tiny aquarium ones) directly into the sump tank works extremely well. coupled with an aircon, it really is very good. the temperature can drop to 22C at night like this (for me). a way to check your temperature will be good if u using this method, as u dont want it to get too cold. my chiller's thermostat was still usable at that time so it was ok for me.

maybe u can try this.

You can get those clip on fans, 25W type and use it to blow your sump. Temperature will drop around 2-4 degC depending on room temperature... :P

Haha.. ya, still can add.. but we still need to transfer the RBTA and Tomato Clown fish..

Also, we aim to keep a Powder Blue and maybe a Powder Brown or Naso tang.. :P So much have some space for them to swim.

If we keep sps, will likely stack all on top of the fibreglass rock u see that i use to create the bridge..
