Default How to cool a tank on hot days?

What's wrong with just throwing freeze treated ice cubes in?
Scoop out excess water after.

how hot? increase aeration up to 90oF. after that freeze TREATED water

in ziploc
bags and float those. even if they spring a leak the water is safe if

treated.

ice cubes cool pretty fast. a solid chunk of ice cools longer and more slowly. like
floating ice rings in punch bowls. Ingrid
