Advice on how to keep your tank from overheating

[elepaqxo]

Hi. I wanted to see what people are doing to keep their tanks from overheating besides a chiller and ac in the home. I was reading about people putting fans with the sump under the tank to blow out the warm air from the cabinet or fans aimed at the top of the display tank (clip on fans)

They have these newer fans like the one Tunze put out.

Although I have A/C and plumbed into my basement on really hot days I use a small cheap window fan over my sump..It works great, but however if you don’t have an ATO watch your water level and S.G. because you will evaporate a lot more water…..

Tank is in the basement, so not a hot room, but this small fan blowing over the top of the tank does the job on the hot days. Never gets hotter than 78-79. Water evaporates faster when on.

But also, be sure to keep some ice in a ziploc back in your freezer. In a pinch you can just float the bag in the tank to lower the water temporarily.

I have fans attached to inkbird to turn on when temperature goes above a certain temperature

I have one of these, and unless I installed it badly, I am really not impressed... the clip-on fan I bought at Bed Bath and Beyong long ago is better (sadly... even before they closed they did not carry this exact model anymore: 6" Comfort Zone)
