Habitat - Indoor :: Warm Tank Water

[Cleverking]

My water is slowly risen to 81 degrees Fahrenheit and I have no heaters. It may possibly be the warm house but is there a way of cooling down the water?

depending on how large your tank is, you can freeze water bottles and put them in there. i have to do this during the summer.

Cl-king I don't know where your live and the temp you keep your home. Once upon a time, long ago, I had the same problem and finally realized that a heating vent was just under and blowing on my tank. I cured the problem with a piece of duck tape.

Is it in direct sunlight for any lengthily time through out the day?

I live in tropical country with avg 82 F water everyday. I cool it with frozen bottle of ice. My tank is not near any stuffs that emit heat

frozen bottle of ice is cheap and easy, but you have to refreeze them each day.

Aquarium chillers are available.. used in reef systems to cool down water heated up by Metal Halide lighing. They are a bit pricey $$$ but work well.

Another solution is a DIY chiller if you have the time / space http://saltaquarium.about.com/od/diychi ... hiller.htm
