Hey patch! As my grow room is air conditioned, do you think that running a separate res outside of the closet (closer to the 25 Celsius that I run the room) would lower the overall temp enough?

I think you should give it a shot

the lower the better (to a certain extent)

Yeah, move your chiller outside the tent. As long as your room is cooler than your tent, the second law of thermodynamics guarantees it will help. The difference won't be dramatic, but every little bit helps when if you are trying to shave off a few degrees.

Foil or mylar and and some spray adhesive is simple way to cover your black grow buckets to keep the heat out. It's not a huge difference, but it does help. You can also wrap your return line (from the chiller) with some foil tape.
