A clamp on fan or open glass tops work great. Clip it on the wet dry blowing into the water

As I stated earlier in the thread I had my wife open the glass lids(wood canopy cover stayed closed) and unplugged the heaters. Left the tank alone for a week and when I checked on it today it was at 71.5* about 1 hour after the lights turned off. Fish seem fine but I'm thinking that's a tad bit low. Closed the glass lids and will have my wife check the temp tomorrow. Depending on how that affects temp I may just plug in one heater and see what happensComment

That's a huge change!Comment

Yea. Like I stated on my first post. The glass lids hold in a great amount of heat and it also doesn't evaporate the tank as fast as open top. Also if you decide to leave the top open with the canopy I'd have the inside of the canopy sealed with a weather/water proof paint because the humidity will slowly cause the wood to go bad.Comment

Even with glass tops on, just leaving the canopy door open has dropped temps in my 450 down to 80°F. I also leave my stand doors open and run a box fan in there, but temps were 81°F - 82°F before leaving the canopy open.Comment

You could sell the submersible pump and change to a external pump. This would help a lot tooComment

Already running a Reeflo in there so that's taken care ofComment

LOL, I'm a little slow I guess. I mistakenly read the room temp last night and thought it was the tank temp, which would explain the drastic change.
I noticed the mistake when my wife sent me a pic today. With glass tops closed, lights on, and no heaters the tank temp was 79.6*Comment
