JBJ 1/20 chiller for 28g HQI

Ive been attempting to maintain a 78 degree temp but I just cant do it without turning off the MH light. I do have a 1/20 chiller in place and I know its doing its job but only when the lights are turned off. Was it a mistake to purchase a 1/20 chiller versus getting a 1/10 or 1/15 chiller?

Sounds like it. Nothing wrong with 80 or so it you can maintain that.

Pretty much the highest Ive seen it go is around 80.7 and that was at the end of my 8 hour photo period. I was just wondering that the 2 degree swing is ok or is it a must to keep the same temp day and night?

80.7 is perfectly fine and isnt something to worry about....My 60 cube used to run 82-84 degrees during the summer and everything was fine....What you dont want is a fast temperature swing

So the consensus is that I should not worry about maintaining a constant temp and keep the 1/20 chiller versus keeping the temp at a constant 78 degree and purchase a bigger chiller?

 

If so then thank you for your answers!
