I have a planted 5 gallon betta tank. Recently the temperatures where I live have skyrocketed and it's causing my tank temp to rise with it. Normally, this wouldn't be a problem, as my tank is kept in an air conditioned room at all times. However, my house has been renovated and there is now no more room in my bedroom, the only room that's always cool, for a fish tank.
This tank is now in the living room, and there is no AC there. The temperature is now always around 85 degrees in the tank. Sometimes it even hits 90. The heater is doing nothing, as I've set it to 75 degrees. I desperately need a way to lower the temp and keep it steady, I can tell that my Betta is stressed, as he's no longer building bubble nests and has taken to hiding under my Anubias nana all the time.
I am a high school student and cannot afford a chiller. Is there anyway to help my fish?
