    i have to keep my ac at 74/75 during the summer to keep my tank at 79. i have also noticed that my ceiling fan drops the temp of my tank by one degree. With the sun hitting your tank directly, you might have to go with a chiller.

    Where do you live? What do you keep your house temp at? Like a few others I keep my AC at 78. My tank is also right by a window. I tinted the window with really good film(LLumar N1020B /73% TSER heat rejection) and my tank stays around 80-82. A chiller may be your only option. Need some more info. Definitely try a fan and frozen bottles for now. 92 degrees is way too high
