Hello!

I recently upgraded my current Heliamphora setup into something bigger. The only problem is that it gets 75 degrees, which my current plants are used to in the day, but I'm ordering some picky helis and some highland-ultra highland neps, which I'm worried about. I have a H. heterodoxa currently in there, and it looks like it's doing fine. Does anyone have tips on keeping the highland tank cool or how they do theirs?

Thanks,

Lots of people on a budget use ice packs of one form or another. Others us Peltier cooler or chillers. I guess it all depends on the size of your setup and wallet.

If you can, opening the windows at night is really one of the best methods for most of the year.

I am going to do a peltier cooler terrarium when I do a highland tank

Thanks for the reply! I already put frozen bottles of water in my current highland setup on hot summer days, but I'll definitely keep my eye out for a peltier cooler.

Thanks for the reply! I do open my window to some extent at night, althought the reptiles and frogs in my room limit that.
