Our air conditioning unit for our house caught on fire last week, so we have no air except for a few fans..
My 15 gal runs without a heater, it doesn't need it. It has always averaged between 74.2° - 77.9°.
But now that we don't have air, my tank is running at 82.0°. Which is fairly warm for my small tank.
How can I keep my temperature at its normal degree, without shocking my tank, during the daytime when it's about 89° in the house?
Thanks y'all!

lol had to do this the other day
You can float ice packs in the tank too. Just start off small and see how low the temp goes. Just put some ice cubes in a zip lock. Good luck

I saw a thread where a guy successfully wrapped the tank in a thin layer (1/2" sheets) of foam insulation bought at Home depot along with the fan on the top. It insulated the thermally conductive glass from the warm house air and helped the fan be more effective
