Temperature rising in tanks need help

[sweeed]

I live in AZ. It's getting hot here. I have two clown knifes in my 125 and the temperature is at about 83. Does anybody have any ideas how to lower the temperature?

If it gets too hot you can use ice cubes but i wouldn't worry unless it goes above 85F.

I was thinking about that. I'll give it a shot. Anybody else have any ideas?

keep the room dark and have a lot of air circulation. also removing the lid will help, but the CK might jump out.

if it gets real bad ya could invest in a chiller, i think they're relatively expensive though

Remove the tops and replace with a screen. Place a fan to blow accross the surface of the water. You will be surprised how fast the tank cools.

Try moving the tank to a room that the sun rises on and not where is sets at..........

take some plastic bottles (like 2 liter bottles), fill up with water, freeze them, toss them in the tank!
