hi to all! What is your way to lower your tank temperture?

My have 3 fluorescents total 90w, 2 30wpump.temperture at 29C-30C some time 27c-28c.3feet(W)x 2feet(H)x18 in tank.but still can't keep it going up till 29C. i am think of add 2 VHO T8 but i think it will go pass 30C.

30*C (86*F) is about the upper limit I would feel comfortable with and I would prefer to be in the 25-28*C range (78-82*F). I use a few fans venting the hot air from my lights and that keeps things cool, but the ambient air temperature in the room that houses my aquarium is very comfortable year round. What is the temperature in that room?

My room is around 32C here.i still can't get it to go down

If your room temp is 32c, then you are going to have a hard time.

I need an edit button, Sorry. I would say that if this is all your case, you may need a chiller.

I also use a fan, but tend to direct it right at the water. Very effecient to lower tank temps. This will also help increase the amount of oxygen in the water as well.
