Hey Guys,
I live in KC, and I have a 75 gallon reef tank. My AC broke down last week, and my family has been running the ceiling fans nearly 24/7 which is why I thought my reef tank would be fine. However, I recently noticed that my anemone shrunk back significantly which is when I checked the tank temp only to find that it was 90 degrees Fahrenheit. This made me really worried, but before I make any bad decisions, do you guys have any temporary advice in lowering temp to a tolerable level while I try to implement a long term solution. I won't have AC until beginning of winter probably with the whole pandemic thing. I briefly read about floating some frozen water bottles in the sump with an overhead fan. Is this a good idea? For long term wise, is an aquarium chiller or overhead fan a good investment? I don't have much space, and I'm guessing it will be a good month before things cool down. So I'm thinking two fans from amazon to run during the day with lids off. (I also do have a wrasse) Let me know what you guys think.
