    The zero edge tank we have stays cool, but evaporates like whoa. I guess it's either one or the other.

    I bought a chiller once. Big mistake! It was the first tank I ever built. If your system needs a chiller you are doing something wrong. Not enough air circulation, to many pumps maybe, to big a pump maybe. Pumps mean friction, friction means heat. Not just my opinion this is fact. Provided ambient air temperature is moderate of course
