Keeping your tank cool in the summer (post 8)

My 29 bounces around from 78-82. I'm hoping the 105 stays more stable than that, but I actually prefer a little temp variation, it's more natural that way; so long as it's not too big of a swing.

In my apartment I kept the AC at 70 always, here at home it's around 76 so that's a factor in itself. I went out and got a fan and it's been bringing the temp down quite a bit. I also got a digital thermometer for the time being until my controller comes in. Right now temp is at 78.6 which is not too bad. I think the reason why my reading was so high was because that was taken from 3'' into the water. I'll look into computer fans as a more compact way of keeping the temp down.

My understanding with people that use an turf scrubber is that they can get a rather dramatic decrease in temps by pointing a fan at the waterfall so that could be an option.
