I'm ready for the heat wave this week; already have air conditioning, bought a couple extra fans for surface evaporation and froze ten 2-litre pop bottles for the sump.

Well yesterday I pulled out my 1/2 HP Pacific Coast chiller and it immediately brought my temp back to 81 F.

Tank was at 84 last night: I now have some frozen pop bottles on hand. I will try this method. It is very hot in the Fraser Valley

It's hot but not scorching in White Rock. Tanks are running around 27 C right now.

In the apt, its 30C in the evening and 27C in the morning with all windows wide opened. Tank temp is even warmer. That was yesterday. Today might be worse.

I have an Evaporative Cooler from Sunpentown that blows out air at 27C when the room is 30C. It helps.
