Temperature help!!!

[xxxAngeloxxx]

I was wondering if is there any tips or ideas on how to keep my temperature from not passing to 80F? I was thinking of buying a JBJ C-Breeze Adjustable Clamp-On Air Blower and claming them up in the back up my tank. Will that make my tank cool down? For those who just are gonna say get a chiller let me put it this way my eletric bill is HIGH and i dont plan on buying a chiller no time soon

I don't run a chiller all I have is a 110 volt muffin fan one one side of the tank blowing air across the surface of the water and it works.

Aim it more downward so it is 'skimmimng' the entire surface. If that canopy closes - you will want to keep it propped open as it will trap the warm air and decrease the efficiency of the fan.



Do note...your evaporation rate will increase.

If it's a emergency vie heard of ppl using ice or ice packs as short term solution

That is a nice fan, but save yourself the trouble and go to CVS or Rite Aid or somewhere like that and pick yourself up a $15 clip on fan..it should be about 8 or 9 " in diameter.

Are you crazy, I would never pay that kind of money for a fan that expensive, I had an extra one at work and I borrowed it.
And I do not have a canopy over my tank yet.
