I have a red wolffish , so the tank is completely sealed since he’s a jumper. I keep most of my tanks in the garage and in the summer my garage gets to around 110f so I use fans to keep them cool. Obviously fans won’t work on a sealed tank so I’m hoping for some ideas how to keep him from roasting other than a chiller or moving him in the house
Thanks

I haven't done it but some people freeze water in small soda bottles to float in the tank
Thanks, it actually occurred to me after I posted this that I can get a reptile screen cover and cut small holes for the wires then run my fans

If you have a canister filter use an old fridge or freezer, don't just put the filter in there but extend the hose as long as possible.

Don't know how big your garage is but since you have more tanks have you considered a portable airco... will cost more electricity as just a fridge/freezer, but will be more effective, too.

I’ve looked into it but I live in Phoenix and everyone I’ve talked said it does do much good here. My garage isn’t insulated either
