82 degrees help

[PEVINE11]

my temp in my biocube is currently 81.9, i have both lids open with a fan blowing air across

all coral and fish in the tank are ok, but how can i keep the temp down in their tank?

Add some ice. You could also freeze a towel and wrap that around the tank.

Ive been hearing a bunch of issues lately with these biocubes overheating and they say the main cause is the filter they are equiped with... what do you think?

How big is the biocube? If its big enough and not like a 3 gallon lol you could float frozen water bottles that way you aren't messing with the salinity. I'm dealing with similar problems with my small tanks because of this heat wave were having. Finally cooler out today so my tanks should be ok.

float frozen water bottles in the tank. or the sump if you have one.chiller is another option pretty pricey though.

i just put ice in a zip lock bac and put in the back part of the filter where the return pump is. P.S its a 29 gallon
