My 20 gallon tank is currently sitting at around 21'C (70'F)
I have a mesh lid on the tank to allow evaporation and have a fan pointed at the water to help cool a bit as well.
I have been told of a 'Frozen Bottle' method, but I am worried that it will cause too much of a change in the tank temp and shock my axies...
I work for 8+hrs/day during the hottest time of the day.
If I drop a bottle into the tank before I leave for work then swap it out with a new bottle when I get home do you think my axolotls will be able to handle it....
If so what size bottle would you suggest.
Would multiple bottles be a good idea?
Would freezer packs work better (melt slower)?
Or are there other cooling methods that I haven't thought of...
(I also live on the top floor of a 4 story apartment so finding a cooler room for the tank isnt going to happen)
