make sure you are keeping a eye on your Aquariums a good way to cool them down when you do not have a chiller ....try otter pops freeze them and then put them in your sump remember do not open them or let them get sucked up in the pumps lol

Thats a good one ive never tried that and i have bolis in the freezer all day long lol!! I always freeze a couple unopened water bottles and pop em in as it heats up which is rare thanks to ac it was 101 outside yesterday and only 79 in the house and the tank stayed at 78.5 till the evening then dropped back to 77.5

Does the frozen water bottle thing really work?

Depends on how big your tank is...I had two 2 liters and would put them in the sump every morning before work to get the tank a little cooler and it would drop my tank down about .5-1 degree. Every little bit helps. My tank is about 280g total volume so on smaller tanks the affects would be more.

Its worked pretty good for me when the ac went out last year for a couple days and i just had to rotate the bottles as i could only fit 1 liters in my 30 sump and a 90 display as soon as the bottles water looked melted i swapped em luckely it happend on the weekend and it was somewhere in the high mid 90's and not in the 100's and my landlord got it up and running on mon morning

what a difference by adding one fan makes. My tank is as cool as the beginning of the week when it was below 72f

actually bolis might be a better choice they have a thicker packaging

My tank is at 78.5 with just a med size fan. I just have to keep on top of my ato. Luckily my new sump holds 10gal of ro water so that should last me a few days on very hot days.

not really. it might cool your tank 1 or 2 degrees but only for about 10 minutes.
