Mixing Station Water Temp

[jetski0602]

I have a 32 gallon Brute that I use to mix my saltwater in. I keep it in my garage and fill days before each water change. My only problem is that my water temp since I live in Hot Texas is at 95 degrees..

I have no other place to mix all the water I need, How do I cool my water down to 78 degrees for my water change?

Welcome to R2R!

What comes to mind immediately is to have several two liter or gallon jugs of water frozen in advance and use them to drop your temp on the day of your water change. You can reuse them over and over.

(Don't worry - here in Texas we only have to worry about the hot weather until mid-November or so. . . )

I will go get some and keep them frozen for next time, or freeze them and wait to change water.. I currently have a fan setup blowing cool air over the top. We will see what this does to the temp
