Hello
Add a fan ,if it is cooler at night run your lights during the night to offset the daytime heat. 84 isn't as bad as it sounds.

Hi..
my tank stayed at 85 for about 6 weeks while it was in the 100's out here.I did run my lights from 4pm-1 am when it was cooler like Douglas advised.Now it has cooled down but everything did just fine.Adding a fan is something I just didn't get around to doing but definitley will next heat wave.Good luck.

Hey thank you all for your replies, I decided to tough it out but when the tank hit 90 the fans were a blowin!!! Luckily I got the temp down.

Johnrags, I wish I had the money for your chiller, but I think they would be rather expensive electrically over here in Okinawa, Japan. But thank you anyway!!
