So my SW habits have been banned to the garage by the wife.

I have a 300g tank probably about 350g total water volume. I'm guessing my garage gets to be about 85 degrees in the summer. The other day is was 82-83 inside the garage with a fan on the system the tank didn't get above 81. However its early in the summer and it going to get much warmer.

So my question - seeing how the garage gets up to about 85 maybe a little more at the max during the hottest days how big of chiller do I actually need? I'm guessing I will only need to lower the temp by 5-6 degrees.

I see all these chillers saying cools up to 15 -20 degrees well I know I wont need that much.

I have never used a chiller any help would be appreciated.
