I only have PCs and I don't have a chiller but I have to run my window AC every day to keep the temp down. On top of my central air. But at 65 degrees, I guess you wouldn't have to worry.
I have 3 250 watt MH and 2 160 watt VHO, I actually have trouble keeping my tank temp up, my heaters are on more then I would like. My 75 gallon sump is right on the concrete floor so it cools the water off quite a bit. When filling the tank for the first time, it was 60 degrees before I added my heater. The warmest my basement has gotten has been 72 degrees all summer, with outside temps at 100.
