For the two sharks you bought, you really need to get it into the low 60F range. That is going to be too cold for the white spotted bamboo you have. You need to get rid of the cold water sharks before they die in the warm water.
 
Thank You for your advice. Me and my husband are splitting up and he his taking the spotted bamboo and the fish from the large tank and I am keeping the Puffdaddier shark and Pajama shark. He is also taking the biocube reef. The only two fish will be the puffdaddier shark and the pajama shark.

60 degrees isn't going to be to cold? I have a central air conditioning system so I can't lower the temperature of just one room. If 60 degrees is good temperature I will go to Best Buy and get a window air conditioner.
 
You bought your husband a shark (hence coolest wife EVER) and now you are getting divorced? Wow, would not have seen that coming.

You would be better off chilling the aquarium directly, not the room. (The only reason heating the room works out cheaper is gas is cheaper than electric). Plenty of aquarium chillers out there that you set up inline with the sump return line, you'd have to size based on your system, which I'm guessing you'll need a big one.

You're going need an chiller for the water, not just the air in the room.

Something like this one (You'll need to match it to the volume of water you have, and the amount you need to drop the temp):

I've run them down into the mid 50's and had very healthy animals.

What size tank set up do you have for them?
 
I will call the fish people to see if they can install a chiller. I am not sure about the exact size but it is big. I can't get the pictrues from my camera onto the computer. Here are a few I found on facebook.






 
Looks like maybe 500 gallons or so (assuming it's a 6 ft round and maybe 2.5-3 ft high). With it being a wide open top and free standing acrylic, you'll need a pretty good sized chiller to get that in the right range.

Where are you located?
