mullies_chaser 0 Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Just a quick question here fellas. I've got a 100 litre tank in the shed (unfortunately the oldies won't let me have it inside) full of live trumpeters, due to this heat wave I'm very positive that there will be a few belly up fish by the end of it, how do I cool them down? I've bought a bag of ice that I will put in when things really heat up but I don't want to buy a chiller either as they apparently cost $1500.Any Suggestions? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
samboman 319 Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 ice is about the best you can do fill up a heap of milk cartons... sheds not really the best place in summer ;D ;DSambo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
YoBBo 0 Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Those ice bricks would be handy James.It would save mixing freash and sea water.Just drop em in as required.or, frozen plastic bottles. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cal 480 Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 Wev"e got 4 days of this nightmare MC good luck,for the hassle of a few of the buggers,I"d just go and catch some more.But very handy to have them on hand if you need them, bummer if they cark it..I know a gun mully fisho from down south who keeps live mullet in the back of his van,he has a full on recirculating live bait set up,catches his livies the day before so he can fish the Onk in the mornings.He swears by early morning for lieying there.Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kayakfisher 0 Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 One of my mates has a bar fridge with 2 holes drilled in the side. A length of hose goes in one of the holes coils around inside then comes out the other. Water is then pumped through the hose to keep the water cool. A brilliant idea and he picked up the bar fridge for $50!I had a redfin in a tank But it became a victim of the latest heat wave. Pity because I thought it was the best aquarium fish i had.
