    What size chiller should I be looking at??

    I have a 150 with a 55 sump. I am running 3 250w mh's. The tank is in the basement so the summer room temp stays mid 70's but since the mhs if I run all 3 the tank will go as high as 84 I am not sure what size chiller I should get to make this temp change. I do have exit holes on the...
