Is There Such A Thing As A Tank Cooler?

[McMurray]

umm.. well you could get a dorm frig.. put a water tank in it with a pump running water out of a hole in the frig throu insulated pipe which leads to a copper pipe (inside the tank)

thats cool but i have read on the foum that coper is not good for the tank... but it is a good idea.

If you have money to burn, you can always buy an aquarium chiller... the cheapest would cost you ~ $300.

I couldn't afford to buy a Chiller.... so, I bought an Aquatek Aquarium Cooling Fan from Aqua eWorld on eBay. This fan has been a BLESSING to my tank during the hot summer months!! Even though i have a canope, the air flow from the fan drives out the hot air accumulated inside. The little clips on the fan snaps onto the aquarium wall very easily.

It dropped the temperature of my tank in hours and saved me $300!!! (and save energy cost too!)

you can give it a try. Good Luck!

I used a 12V DC computer fan blowing arcoss the surface of the water. It reduced the temp from 33C to 28C.
