Curious what people are doing to keep the temperature in your tank down during this heat?

The skimmer tube that’s pulling fresh air from outside is disconnected due to re-routing.

It gets to 8 once I connect the fresh air hose to skimmer.

At the moment Using 2 part via DOS

Use a small fan over my sump and keep house at 75. Now my mixing station in the garage is another story, I cant keep it below 85

Had to put a box fan over 1 tank to bring the temp down, electric bill was 789. Told the wife the house is too cold.

Holy Shi..... What are you using in your house that's burning that much energy if you don't mind me asking?

How much electricity does your pool add to your monthly cost? How many KWH does it use to operate? I was thinking about having one put in.

Holy. What would be the cost to install dual pane windows?

My heaters still have to come on to warm the aquarium with the AC set to 76 during the day and 70 at night.
