Easiest way to beat the heat is to run your lights at night until the temps drop back down to "normal"

Thanks everyone! The nighttime lights is a good idea! If only I could figure out my husbands jimmy rigging on the light timers

I added a couple of desk fans to my tanks, it's worked great so far.

A multi-prong attack is best. Reverse photoperiod (lights on at night as suggested), shorter photoperiod (8-9 hrs vs 12 hrs), and fans.

However, when it became really hot in here in the past, I plugged in my 12000 btu AC and kept myself and the tanks nice and cool (I still went with reverse photoperiod).

We too have AC, but keeping a tank cool without it is something all should know about
