| Does anyone have any good suggestions for cooling a tank at night a good 5-10 degrees? I am trying to find something fairly cheap and this would be for in a basement with no outside ventilation (so an window AC unit is out).
I do not want to have to put frozen bottles of water in every night either. Any ideas? It can't be too expensive either |

| The only way for your place is modifying a refrigerator. Here is what a guy in Europe did. Check the link |

| I constructed mine as a fish tank(bottom broken out) attached on top of a large thermoelectric cooler. This provides for light, air movement, and temperature change b/c the cooler and light is hooked up to a timer. The temperature ranges from 58-72F. Then a tube brings in fog from an ultrasonic humidifier, which is also on a timer. I grow lepanthes and this setup works very well for them. |
