Has anyone heard of IcyBreeze? Basically, it's a cooler that doubles as a portable A/C and runs on battery or direct wire power. https://www.icybreeze.com/ for more info.
For $300, is this a good choice to keep tank cool during summer power outage? I am thinking about getting one for my 200g tank and during power outage, just point the cool air in my sump. I also plan to get a 4500 watt inverter generator so I can run this continuously along with pumps and lights.
Pros:
- Unlike traditional portable air conditioner, no need to vent the hot air out a window
- Truly portable (my fish tank is far far away from a window where I can vent a portable air conditioner)
- Can run on battery for 6-8 hours
- Useful for beach, camping, sport games, etc
Cons:
- Require ice which may be harder to get during extended power outage
- Cost as much as a traditional portable air conditioner
