Small chiller q?
In the summertime it could get around 90 degrees inside the house where the tank is. It's a 10 gallon reef. There is no sump or fuge, just hang ons and powerheads. Do I need to get a chiller?

if the house gets 90 then i would think the tank would get close to that, especially if you have any pumps in the tank which would add more heat and since its also a smaller tank it would heat up or cool down a lot quicker which is bad for reefs because the key in this hobby, from what ive heard, is stability
ive heard a lot of people pointing a fan over top the the surface of the water to cool the tank by evaporation, but then youd need to add more water |

I do run the AC, but only when I'm home. (In the summer that is)

fans will lead to a evaporation, and for a 10G will be to nuch to andle, eventualy your sistem will crash.
