I've been looking all over these forums for some light blocking advice, but I haven't seen any about axolotls specifically and people who may have experience with this. If I missed some threads, please point me in the right direction!
Ok, so! I've had my axolotl for 3-4 years now and I hate where I have her. The placement of the tank is away from sunlight but super ugly, and I really want to put her in front of my window that only gets direct sunlight in the early morning (when the curtain are drawn and I am asleep). I was wondering if you all thought it would plausible if I had some kind of plastic thing I put on the back of the tank to block out the (indirect) sunlight. Currently I cool the tank with one computer fan that keeps it at 68-70F but I can add another fan if necessary.
I know it can still heat up (+ temp fluctuations) even with a cover (heat transfer and all), so maybe I could use some Styrofoam in between...? I just want to know if this idea is totally idiotic and not going to work before I commit to it, so I was hoping someone might have some prior experience trying something like this.
