My Fish Friends, I got my tank at the end of the ‘hot season’ last year, around August/September. I’m wondering what everyone does to help keep their tank cool. I’m thinking of just engineering some computer fans above the tank. Not trying to break the budget!
Thanks in Advance.

Fans blowing across water can help. Kind of depends on ambient room temperature and relative humidity.

A lot of people set up their Aquariums in their finished basement. cooler temps plus a concrete floor. less risk of having your fish drop in for a visit. ya

I know this is obvious advice, but just make sure it’s nice and securely fastened to whatever you mount it to. Don’t want it to fall off in the tank.
