New to RDWC need help please

Im in the South and growing in an insulted greenhouse. How do I get and keep my water temperature right? Im thinking a room a/c with a dehumidifier. Good idea or bad? Also, I put 4 plants into rdwc, in 24 hours one was wilted to falling over, another was beginning to wilt, the third was looking so so, the 4 perfect. I moved the 3 to soil again and have some success in bringing them back to life. I cut back the worst one to almost nothing, and it’s full of new growth. The one surviver, a small clone, is thriving. Could it be water temp that caused what I think is shock? I have a reservoir and 4 bucket system, All have air stones

Water chiller is your best bet…
Water temps between 66 and 72 should keep you out of trouble…
