I may never comprehend why aquatics producs are so freaking expensive. a chiller for $300...nuts, when you can go out and buy a freaking bottom-budget 10cu ft fridge for $300 from Home Depot of all places. Granted one is cooling quite a different sort of thing from the other, but the science of it can't be that incredible. -.- Don't even get me started on lights...What I would pay for 19"W worth of lighting...god.

Anyway I did my stupid self a favor and researched the temps for my inhabitants a bit more.
Kuhli Loach: 72-82F
Amanos: 60-80F
Rummynose Tetra: 72-77

So when my temp swings to 82 I guess I'm only really endangering my tetras, and being that I've had it set to ((78))...perhaps I should widen the window a bit and set the thermo a bit lower to begin with...74 perhaps. Or would that cause it to swing more on the hot days? =\ I didn't even realize I had it set a degree over whats recommended for my tetras.
