Tank Temp
 

I am having a little trouble getting my 30 gal SW tank to get down to 78
degrees f. It seems to be running right about 84 Degrees f.
1. Is 84 degrees to warm?
2. Any suggestions on how to cool the tank, without a $600 cooler?

Just starting the tank, and it is cycling now. Into day 3.

2. Any suggestions on how to cool the tank, without a $600 cooler?

Evaporation. Setup a fan blowing across the surface of the water. You can
usually bring it down 3 degrees this way.

Also air stones and activating the venturi on any powerheads you may
have.
