My axies tank is creeping up to about 23deg, which won't be so bad once I do my water change on the weekend cause Im planning on moving it to a cooler part of my house then.
Anyway, at the moment I'm using the ice brick method but I can't always keep up with as and I'm never home during the hottest parts of the day to change the ice bricks so the temp is fluctuating. I can't afford a marine chiller and I mean its only this hot for a few months. Im considering putting styrofoam around the tank and then i had another possible idea.
My cousin used to work night shifts and he had trouble sleeping during the light and heat of the day. He ended up gettin aluminum foil and sticking its shiny side out, onto the windows (with the help of a spray bottle of water) It kept the room really dark during the day and since the sun was reflected off the foil, im pretty sure it kept it cool too. So what do you think, do you think it would work on my fishtank or would it just make it look like a silver UFO type thing? Cause I wouldn't mind trying it and I thought I was really clever for remembering it
