In case you didn't see the topic in the beginners section...People are suggesting doing a water change and adding cold water. Or placing ice cube in a bag in the tank. My tank temps have also risen to about 29C. I wonder what people who are in hotter climates all year do...

Hello, liserini, I live in hotter climates area (than United Kingdom). This would not sound good for our planet Earth but I open air conditioner during day time. So my fish tank stay cool

Good that where I am living in is NOT hot climate area all year round

Edits: oh yeah I've been reading on this TFF and found this. That topic have tons of ways suggested by members on here about cooling the fish tank temp. down

Here house temps are 95F and my tank is at 76F. I keep house light off shades down, hood up and am running a simple ice based chiller that brings cold water into my filter and through the tank.
