Does anyone know of anything that can drop the temperature in the tank. Not the water really but the air inside the tanks. If you know of anything please tell me.
Thanks,
Andrew
 
I have used some ice cube trays on top of the glass lid to cool some of my tanks.
 
I sit mine by a window and cool it with frozen water bottles...
 
Andrew,

For home-brewing beer I converted a freezer into a temperature controlled fermenter unit with nothing more than a temperature controller. (Johnson Controls has one that will turn on/off an outlet and has a control band of +/- 2 degrees F)

I put the probe in the freezer, turn the freezer to it's max setting, and plug the freezer into the controller. The controller drops the air to the desired temp.

I've often considered setting the freezer to a lower setting and wintering newts in it.... but I live in New England and mother nature provides quite enough seasonal temperature drop.

Now since I doubt you would want your newts in a freezer, perhaps you could home-jobbie a fridge or a freezer to blow temp controlled air into your tank?

Perhaps this is beginning to look a bit too much like a mad scientist approach... If your interested, let me know.

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
