NOPE....I have some small 4" fans on top
and even though I have central air.....last summer I put a window unit in my "fish" room to keep it cooler....with all the tanks I have, I found out I needed a little more cool....lol....and a $110 window a/c was A LOT cheaper than chillers
HEY....it worked too :)

I am running fans as well and I keep a pretty consistent temp. I know its not what a chiller can provide as far as consistency but everyone seems happy. I put 2 80 mm fans on the sump and 1 120mm in the canopy. All run off the controller and are temp activated at 79 degrees. Only cost here is when the fans get salty I have to replace them. 6 bucks for the fans.
