You could make one of those ice chest a/cs and just drop a big chunk of ice every day there's a bunch of them on YouTube u can make them pretty cheap I've made one with a copper coil wraps around a fan with a pump circulating ice water from the chest and it works great but kinda expensive and not necessary you can make one with just a small fan and ice chest

Steveo h Hey! first thing, are you doing a soil and hydro setup??
2nd extend the tubes so you can pull the water away from the lights and in a cooler area! (like outside of the room? or 10 feet away)
3rd how is it set up
4th Lights/air flow types
5th time schedule
6th increase the rez size double the tanks even (it seems like you are pushing the water faster then it can cool the water down.) you need to make sure you have more fluids to the tanks for example if you have 2 stalls for the pants that are using 5 gals each you should have a 20 gal rez this way you have 10 gals that mix with the warmer water and then cause the temps to drop and allows for a cleaner less stress run.

Try everything that was suggested above (there are some great ideas posted). Definitely try to bring your room's temp down before thinking about getting a chiller. You may end up getting a chiller, but at least you won't have to run it as much if the environment is cooler (this will make the chiller last longer too).

Hi Steveo, I have a hydro growbox, so my setup is different from yours, but I am coming to the conclusion that I'm going to have to buy a chiller, drill some holes in my box and put an end to the temp fluctuations in my reservoir. If you have the time and patience to be changing out frozen bottles, you can save the +/- $300.

i wouldn't touch hydro w/a 10 foot pole but i do admire a good well-executed idea seen to fruition...
