I do both things, start out with a soda bottle filled with water and left in the freezer. Then just take off the top and let it melt(ro water) and it cools the tank slowly as well as top off my water level.
When the temp gets really warm I turn on the a/c. _________ 125gal.w/Mag9.5 return(dual megaflow)>Mag7 pump Aqua Cev180skimmer.Wave2k Hamilton Reefstar(2)250watthqi(mh)pend.a Yellow, Naso Tang Red Lip Blenny Percula Clown Demoiselles Niger Trigger F.

Mine is up about 3 degrees and that's with
no lid.
If it gets too warm I turn on ceiling fan(actually helps)
open windows and shorten or change the lighting period
to a cooler time. | |
