How do you cool down your tank?

I'd get rid of the egg crate and make one of these.

Won't block any air like the screen and egg crate. Won't block light either.

 

cool ill check it out

lol and my mom was wondering why im *****ing at her to turn on the AC she was like im not turning it on when its 77 degreese and i was like my tanks are giong to FRY so we had a bit of a fight about turning the AC on so its only going to be on for 2 hours just enough to cool stuff down a bit

water bottles might work but freezing takes at least 24hrs so i dont think its going to work

 

I used something like this when I had heat issues... Being in ohio, I don't have to worry about heat issues much, plus my tanks in the basement.. My temp rarely gets above 78...

If you have ready make ice cubs you could put them in the bottle?

But at least you can have the AC on for a bit!! Whew! poor you~!

 

i saw that before, i have thought about getting something else cause eggcrate is a big PITA to work around

i havent read the thread in a while but are those mesh holes kind of big? i put window screen over my eggcrate back when i had the my firefish cause it would have jumped through the hole.

Also would that kind of netting work with bowfronts and be able to go around HOB equipment?

 

thats another good idea, i could have the crushed ice fill the bottle

yea lol and i just got home from work too an hour ago, and she had been in the house all day, but she was downstairs where its much cooler

 

Yes do netted lid like me!!

 

cool thanks for the link ill check it out

 

If your having these problems now, wait until August..... I would keep eye out for a chiller.

 

wow is like 50 here im so glad i dont live in cali
