I need help with lowering my tank temperature. I never put thought into it until recently during a water change I noticed the water being too warm, I checked my thermometer and the reading was off the scale (>32°C) (it isn't the first time it is like that, it's always like that during dry season).
I've seen a video where they use computer fans to cool down water tank but I was wondering if there is another method.
What I've been doing is freeze water in a plastic bag and then put the plastic bag in the tank. So I got a couple questions with this:
1. If i freeze tap water can I dump the frozen water directly into the tank (without using plastic bag as a barrier)?
2. Is it ok if I freeze tank water and then proceed to dump the frozen tank water into the tank?
Now before you say "temperature changes shock/are bad for fish" I am very well aware of this, However during my actions the temperature readings changes very slightly if it does, and not to mention it only helps for 30 minutes or so.
My objective here is for a method that can give me a temperature reading of <27°C (no AC)
