I keep seeing people write on here to put ice in bags and to float them. I really hate this idea and thought i would share what I have been doing for awhile now.
I have taken a few 2-liter soda bottles and rinsed them out. Place some water in them and then cap off and freeze them.
When my tank starts to over heat I just lay one of them in my sump and it works like a charm. If you don't have a sump just float in your aquarium.
I like this better because the bottle wont leak water into your aquarium. Just keep enough on standby to cylce through and have enough for the otheres to refreeze. Also dont make the mistake I did and filled the bottles with too much water and have them EXPLODE in your freezer. Was pretty funny to have 4 of them burst. Grabbed my glock and had to search my place untill I realized it was the freezer and not anyone shooting lol......
