what to do 90g build-in wall tank need some help

[TraciJean]

I have a question about heat and tanks. I live in Florida and I am considering on putting my 90 gallon reef tank in the wall and making it a picture frame tank. I want to do this because it will help with the noise of the tank, make more room in my living room, and it would look sweet. The back end of the tank would be in the garage along with the pumps and sump. My question is in Florida the heat in the garage can reach 110+ in the summer. Will a chiller be strong enough to cool every thing and even being chilled would it be OK for the algae? What would I do with the fans, I dont want to blow hot air? Has anyone that lives in a warm climate area done a wall tank out to their garage? If so, can you give me some pointers.
Thanks

Whether the chiller will be strong enough depends a lot on the size of the chiller and how it is installed. Since it will generate heat, you would probably want to vent it outside.

Have you checked to see if your plans will violate state or local building codes? I'd also be concerned with what would happen if you trip a breaker or the chiller fails. It would not take long for the tank to heat up in that environment!
