How's everyone coping with summer?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
My tanks are acting like normal. Year round my house is 65-70 degrees inside, so my tanks are pretty constant year round, except a goldfish tank which is cooled manually through the winter. I let light shine through a window now into a 55g tank to give newly born frys algae to nibble on all day :). Contrary to most hobbyists, I love summer for my fish. Plus! I found a pond on my property that I've never known about! So summer will be great. I'm extremely excited.
 
i have central air and i turn my heaters off unless the tanks get below 74 degrees F for a wile my air was out in the beginning of the summer so i put bags of icey salt water in my tank and ran fans across the top to increase evaporation i was able to keep the temp under 95 F if any thing like that happens again im making a diy chiller out of a mini fridge and a a trans cooler.
 
Central air here. Not that we need it, only ran it like a week so far this year (I only turn it on if it gets 80 in the house, that thing really sucks the electricity!) It's only like 65 right now.
