I use floresent lights instead of metal hylides. Temp stays between 77 and 80.

I voted "other". I have a ceiling fan that is directly above the display tank. The tank is open on the top (no canopy). There is also a window a/c unit that keeps that room a couple of degrees cooler than the rest of the house. My temps range between 78 and 82. I have T5 lighting.

May you all be well and happy. 210 mixed reef with 90 gallon sump/fuge 22 gallon frag tank 20 gallon Mantis tank

I have two fairly large fans above my tank that take care of most of the work, they also help increase evaporation so I can add more kalk If the two fans cant keep up I have a chiller as well. It's amazing what fans will do... I'm running 2-250watt HQI ballasts, a 400MH magnetic ballast and 2-110watt Actinic VHO's on a standard AG 120...
