Cooling off tank.

[Sparrowsong]

Hi all,
We're really in a hot spell right now and we have no air conditioning. What's a safe way to lower the temp in a 20g tank besides pwc?

Do you have a canister? Put it in a bucket and put ice packs around it.

At first I got a giggle out of the tittle of this thread I thought it said (cool off tank) so when your fish get rowdy you could put them in time out

those little 10 inch clip on fans work great
I use 2 on the 90g 1 on the 40 both maintain a steady 78* on a 90* day

canister in a bucket with ice packs around it that's a awesome idea never would have thought of that .

I always put ice cubes in the sump

Awesome ideas!! Thanks all!!

A cooling off tank might not be such a bad idea when they're all acting like hooligans!!

I put together the fan in this video: less than $20, and it really does work.
