Not sure if it will do to much but hopefully some one else will chime in. Here is a link to a page I just found that talks about tank temps.

I hope there isn't anything wrong with this link cause I dont think they sell anything.

OMG....88 is wayyy too high. You will first start to stress things (fish and corals) the fish will then die (hopefully not), and the corals will bleach and die. You need to try to get it down to at least 84. The highest my tank have been was about 84, then I started to worry as it went up to 85. Try directing a fan on top of the water, it will cool it very fast. Maybe buy a small computer fan and fix it on to your canopy. It will definetly drop at least 3 to 4 degress in no time.

cool.
I got sick and tired of trying to keep my tank temp stable, specially when I was running metal halides (150Watts) in my 24gal. The fan did help though. I eventually got a small chiller made by JBJ. I think it is perfect. No evap issues, and the tempertures are stable. With the fan, you get lot of evap.

truthfully 88 is way too high..85 is ok to treat ick and about 81 is the general reef area temperature. the most important thing is to keep the tank from majorly fluctuating throughout the day.

If your tank is only 6gals..might be pretty hard to keep ur temp stable. I was having a hell of a time trying to keep my tank stable in my 14gal. I dont think they make a chiller for that small but You might be able to go with a thermoelectric chiller. They are called "ICA chiller" might be able to find some cheep on ----.
