Tank overheating, tried everything. Anyone have a Chiller near 08822 I can buy or even rent

This is the situation right now… not great the tanks in a sunroom that is fully inclosed but not cooled nor heated (winter we have a wood burning stove) and this heat wave is going to be the death of me and my tank, I have a mesh lid, a small fan running, ice packs, sides of tank covered and now I just moved the plants and fully closed the blinds, and I have ice packs all over the tank. I’m at a loss of what else I can do if you have any tips or even have a chiller even one that’s broken or something anything, I can afford a new chiller as prices of just well life have gone up and life is on a budget and a new chile r is not in the budget, im very handy and if you have a cheap, free or broken chiller please let me know

Take that clip on fan off and go get a "Dorm room clip on fan" and let that blow air across the tank. I use these on clients tanks all the time



1 of these fans will cool that tank really quick for pretty cheap

Thanks I will look into those and order them sadly they won’t come until the end of the heatwave (unless I find a similar one) for the rest of the week I’m going to try to find another similar fan at home or stores

How many gallons is the tank? I know people usually fill up small bottles with water and freeze it, then throw those in so nothing melts in the tank, but cools it
