Tank cooling

[mogs9999]

Was wondering if anyone has any ideas about how to keep my axolotl's tank cool

i live in a 4th floor flat(apartment) so tend to get quite a lot of heat through the floor making my tank temperature about 24°C pretty much all day and all night, i use ice bottles and they seem to slowly bring the temperature down (according to the digital thermometer in the tank)

i was thinking of getting a small solar powered fan to clip to the side

any other ideas of suggestions?


here is the cute axolotl you would be helping

Hi,

I got an amazing clip on fan from Amazon, was really cheap and it is absolutly brill! Lowered my 60L tank by a good 3-4degrees when left on for long periods of time, wasn't noisy and the clip was really stable. I have a 160L now (half filled) and I still have my trusty fan but haven't had a chance to use it yet as the temps are a lot lower,
good luck and lovely axie!!

Sweet! Thanks for the link. I just made one...now to see if it's powerful enough to cool down my tank.
