Cooling Issues

[cmantis]

As it is getting hotter I need to do something to cool the tanks in my room. I have a 50g tank and will consolidating my clowns into a 100g rack system. Would it be better to run two chillers or the AC in the wall?

I messed up in placing my 50g because I centered it in a spot on the wall between my bathroom door and closet door with 6" on each side and pushed it back with only 2.5" there. Unless I move it to the left or right I can't put a chiller next to it. I thought about putting a drop in chiller in either the bathroom or (big) closet but I didn't leave enough room in the back to get the coils in.

How much of a PIA would it be to move the tank. Its got 40lb of sand in it and at least 80lbs of rock. Id really rather not take the rock out because my golden angels, maze angel and assessor are already at home. What are my options at this point?

I have both a drop in chiller and a regular chiller so perhaps I could pipe the regular one from the other room or across the room. Also how much flow goes through a Current 1/4hp chiller I need to get a pump for it? Oh and the screw on barb connectors need replacing is that something standard I can get at HD or proprietary I need to get from Current?

Ugghhhh...

I control my tanks temp with my ac in the living room , it's 57 rimless but it maintains a good temp all summer long.

AC, better controlled especially since they have built in timers now & should you decide you want to take the system down you'll STILL get use from the AC !

run the ac and a fan, i keep ac at 74-76 with a fan and 3x250w halides, my temp hasn't gone over 80.5 and its comfy in the room, with 2 chillers that room will be very hot.
they sell sliders at hd for carpet or wood floors, i was alb to move my 300 with stand by myself empty of course.
