Generally, for FO (fish-only) or FOWLR (fish-only with live rock), it is not really necessary to cool the water.
Having said that, fish will generally also do better with slightly cooler water.
At higher temp.
Somewhere under 10ppm in Reef aquaria (Fish and Inverts) and anywhere below 20ppm in Fish only or FOWLR (Fish Only With Live Rock) systems. Ideally however a reading of 0ppm or close is the optimum and certainly achievable in many systems.
If attempted, provide a spacious fish-only or FOWLR setup of at least 75 gallons, preferably larger, and choose peaceful but active fish companions.
