Urgent Care :: How do I cool down the water temperature in my tank?

[Sireen]

Hello, recently i moved to saudi arabia with my two turtles, pooky and bully, back home i used a water heater to keep the temp at 77F but coz the weather here is so hot i stopped using the water heater, but the water temp is not dropping, its always 84F, i tried using ice and keeping the AC on but it didint help, is there any other way to cool my water tank? Thank you..

Controlling room temperature and location of the tanks are probably the most effective. Some have tried freezing water in soda bottles, but that will only be effective on smaller enclosures.

Get a fan to blow against the surface of the water, that helps drop it a few degrees depending on the tank size. Just make sure that the fan isn't blowing in the direction of your turtles basking spot.
