JBJ 28g HQI water temp issue

[harris28]

I am thinking about down grading from a 75 to the 28 nano. I was just wondering if people are able to run this set up without a chiller? I have corals im going to swap over and I dont think the fluorescents will cut it but I also dont want to buy a chiller. Any help would be great.
Thanks

Try a fan blowing over the rear chambers if it gets too warm, that could be enough, and cheaper to try that first than investing in a chiller right off the bat.

Also, prop up the lid about 2". I use a wine cork LOL! Actually the stock lighting keeps quite alot alive, minus clams.

Does anyone know how much above room temperature the JBJ aquarium will run with the halides on?

When you mean stock are you referring to the florescent? I would say that the HQI would keep clams.
