I have read lots and lots of threads about people having heat issues because of pumps and lights. Some people have success just using fans others use chillers to cool the tank but rarely do I see any mention of the room temperture.

It would be nice to know what temp you keep your rooms at, what equipment you have running and what temp the tank is at.

I live in Ga and in the summer we have the AC on all the time. Room temps rarely get over 75. I am wondering what sorts of heat issues I might have with a tank when ever it gets set up.

Thanks,

Really depends on your tank.
I have a 75gal with 440watts VHO, Mag9.5, 2 maxijet 1200's, ER CS6-1 skimmer. In the summer with my room temp at about 76-77 degrees I was struggling to keep my tank under 84. This is with a fan mounted in my sump.
