[AquaticLife] Turning the heat DOWN
Hi Noura,
There are ways to keep your tank cooler They are know as Chillers. They are regulated by a thermostat. I have also tried in my 55 gallon tanks to use Peltier effect devices mounted on two heat sinks- one smaller one in the water and the other in the air with a fan on it. This lowered the temp about a few degrees but was the source of heat as well in the basement. The Chiller is the best way to go as well as using a sheet insulation on all sides of the tank except the front. Also take the lighting fixture up off the surface of the hood a few inches in summer will help from adding any heat in. See below- http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/pet_supplies.cfm?c=3578+4900
