If it helps, I don't use a chiller on any of my tanks, and the A/C is basically shut-off during the day.
(The wife is home all day and she freezes at 78 degrees...)
I keep a small clip-on fan blowing across the top of the main tank using mother nature's method of cooling.
The temp stays pretty consistant below 80 and every inhabitant is happy, happy.

I would definitely throw a $10 fan on there untill I found a chiller.

what size do you need?

Im looking for something that will have a 5-6 degree pulldown on a 65 gallon tank....I have fans now but I want something more stable and efficient.

1/4hp or 1/3hp should be fine. Anything bigger than 1/10hp, smaller than 1/2hp. My 1/4 on my 120 (150 total volume) pulls mine down a good 5 degrees, and comes on maybe every 2 or 3 hours for 15 minutes? Probably less.
