My tent runs at about 74-75 degrees, my water temp is typically 73 which is borderline danger zone. I am considering low cost options to bring it down a few degrees. I plan to insulate my buckets, sides and top.

Ive considered increasing my pump size, placing it in another room in the basement which is 10 degrees cooler than my tent, and just running more air line.

The theory is simple, cooler air should bring down temp a few degrees. Considering the buckets will be insulated as well, and the water goes in at 60-65 degrees during my weekly change.

Anyone try this and get measurable results?

I hung my pumps in front of the AC. I feel like it might have given me about 1.5 to 2 F⁰ less heat in my water. Kept my pumps cooler.
