Cooling a viv

bluetip Apr 15, 2004 10:14 AM

Hi guys,

I'm really new in vivs and I'm from the Philippines. I've setup up a 35 gallon tank as a viv for dart frogs. Temperatures here get pretty warm in the summer. I've just tested my temperature. In the evening, outside temp is 30degrees in the tank its 26degrees celcius. But morning temps will definitely get warmer. Was planning of keeping D. Azueus. How much heat can these frogs take?

Do you guys have any tricks on how to cool a viv?

thanks

bluetip
