The easiest and cheapest way I know of is to put ice cubes in a sealed bag and drop it in the water.This should work short term, I don't know whether it'll be enough long term (depends on how big your freezeer is:-). Conversely the opposite can be used in the event of a black out with "hot water bottles" used to maintain temps. Obviously you need to keep an eye on what is happening to the temps during this period. I would also check that you don't have a broken or stuck thermostat. -----Original Message----- From: "Greg, Cathy, Alex and Elise Harper" <harpers1@hotkey.net.au> Date: Tue, 29 Jan 2002 17:47:13 +1000 To: "Apisto Mailing List" <apisto@listbox.com> Subject: cooling water down Re: Hi, Re: I have a 2' x 1' tank and it is too hot (about 84 degrees F). I was wondering if anybody knows how to cool the water down without buying coolers etc. Re: Re: Thanks, Re: Alex Harper Re: -- C:-)lin They said "Smile, things could be worse."
