<p>This may sound dumb, and if it is, just chalk it up to me being an aquaponics newborn, but why couldn't you get some of those things in the ice-chest aisle that you freeze to use in your cooler instead of ice. After they thaw, you can just re-freeze them and use them indefinitely. </p>

<p>There are several ways to cool things down. As mentioned before shade is your first priority then insulation. Insulation isn't only for the cold. For your veggies, you can have a misting system to cool the temp of the air. The most efficient way to cool water is with block-ice. Another way is to run your hose underground at least six feet (two meters) and use geo-thermal exchange. The last resort I suggest is using a chiller unit.</p>

<p>I'm at 85 degrees in the shade too.</p>
<p>I like to top off with very cool water once or twice a week. this drops it about half a degree for a little while.</p>

<p>Prevention is the first thing you can do. Block sides of beds from direct sun.</p>
<p>Anything that promotes evaporation will remove heat to the air (and add humidity). To do this, spread the water out to more surface and blow air across/thru it.</p>
<p>But then you've got to replace that evaporated water...</p>

<p>Do a google search for cooling towers or I have some pictures on my blog of something I put together. I run the tower at night and it drops my temp almost a full 10 degrees. Shade is the key!</p>

My 250g tank is 2/3 shaded under my grow bed and maintains 85°<br />
A shade should be all u need.
