How to Cool Fish Tanks in Summer?

How to Cool Fish Tanks in Summer?


The temperature in summer is really unlikeable, so we have talked about a topic that is unavoidable in summer: cool the fish tank! Cooling the fish tank is an unavoidable topic for most aquarium enthusiasts, especially for red crystal shrimp lovers, sea fish lovers, and aquarium players, but how to choose the cooling method?

1. Avoid direct sunlight

No matter the size, shape, and posture of the fish tank, it is necessary to avoid direct sunlight as far as possible in summer. Do not place the fish tank in the sun or near the sun, especially near the west wall. It can be placed in a cool and ventilated place with a certain amount of scattered light.

In too strong sunlight, not only does the increase of the water temperature affect the health of ornamental fish, some fish tanks (such as round ones) may even cause explosions or fires.

2. Maintain good ventilation

The sultry environment is not conducive to the living of ornamental fish. In summer, good air circulation and good ventilation must be maintained in indoor fish culture, which can also better volatilize the fish tank water to achieve the purposes of ventilation and cooling.

3. Air conditioning cooling

Air conditioning cooling mainly refers to indoor air conditioning cooling. The reduction of ambient temperature will drive the decrease in the water body temperature in the aquarium. This cooling method will not destroy the ecological balance of the aquarium, but it needs to keep the household air conditioner on for a long time. You can choose a suitable cooling way according to your actual situation.

4. Fan cooling

The fan cooling method is definitely the most economical, convenient, and effective cooling method. Under the subdivision, the fan cooling method includes aquarium fan cooling and household fan cooling, and both methods are relatively convenient and fast. When using the fan cooling method, the aquarium should be immediately replenished with water to prevent water shortage caused by water evaporation.

You can choose the fish tank cooling fan sold by Guangzhou Senzeal Trading Co., Ltd. The fish tank cooling fan adopts a high-power engine and has the advantages of low noise and fast cooling speed, which is worth your purchase!

5. Frozen stone cooling

Choose a few clean stones after disinfection and put them into the refrigerator, and the temperature can be set at more than 10 degrees below zero. After a period of time, take the stones out and put them into the fish tank, then put some stones that need to be frozen into the refrigerator and replace them in turn. 

6. Cooling with ice bags or ice water bottles

Fill a small clean bag or mineral water bottle with cold water and freeze it in the refrigerator, then put it in the fish tank. If the ice bag/bottle is big enough, the cooling effect can last for a long time, and the fish can basically survive the tough and hot time at noon. (Note: do not pour cold water directly into the tank, because it may cause temperature differences and make fish sick.)

7. Reduce light intensity

The intensity of the light also causes the temperature to rise to a certain extent. The lamp position of the fish tank can be raised. Avoid using the lamps in water, so as not to affect the cooling of the tank.
