Just put regular ice cubes in a ziplock bag and float it. Don't need to use ro ice cubes

AC for the aquarium and for me here. I cannot survive in the heat so the AC was a must.

My aquarium water never really fluctuate.

I use frozen bottles of water in my tank. One ~375ml bottle can drop my temp from 86 to 83 in30-40 mins, so it's pretty effective... When I'm home that is.

My Seahorse is in a 20 gallon in my kitchen, it has an aquarium fan blowing 24/7 but yesterday the temp got to 79 even still, so today the game plan is to move her to the basement. No easy task.

That's a really good idea, I'm gonna try it.
