Heat wave loss :( looking for a chiller

[nashorn]

Was out of town a day and came home and my tank was at 84deg most corals browned out and loss a 1/3 of my frags.
Not sure what could have been done since no one was home.
Chiller would have helped but doesn't usually get that hot in SF.
Is there a small chiller on the market for a 57gal?

Man that sucks..if you have a controller Can you run a clip on fan in the sump triggered at a certain degree? Takes up less space than a chiller and way cheaper considering it won't be used much =)..

The bigger the chiller, the less it's actually on and less it has to work, I've always ran the biggest chiller that I can afford

Do not get the largest chiller you can afford, but one sized appropriately. Short cycling the compressor will cause premature failure.
