    So would 75F be too low. The reason I ask is with the Aquapod it's pretty difficult to keep the tank below 80with the lights right on top of the water and no air circulation other than the small fan. I have an old humidifier fan on top of the tank drafting air through much faster and much more cfm. It's holding at about 80 if not just over 81.4 was the highest today.

    24g Aquapod Reef tank (Probably going to be sold)

    Here's the reason I'm asking. This could be modified to have a bottle type item inside it with a recirc pump. The top cool temp is 75 with a top temp of 122. Obviously you wouldn't be able to go higher than the 75 and definately not lower. But I think it might work. Cheaper than a chiller but not as difficult to get ahold of parts for the diy chiller.

    it should be ok, but i notice when i get over 82 my corals start to react to the temp. so i keep mine right at 79-80 and they seem to love it cuz they are growiing like weeds.
