cooling an outdoor macro tank ideas

[joekidwell]

I'm setting up a small 10 gallon tank just as an experiment this summer in TN. I know most outdoor tanks are like 500 gallons + I'm just trying cooling ideas for now. I already have the uv protectant netting and know that it dosent have to be in direct sun to grow.

The one idea I have is a mag pump connected to 25 feet of tubing wound up and buried three feet underground.

Any other ideas?

the pump might add the temperature you are taking away with the tubing unless you use a very small pump.

all other methods would use evaporation, like fans, and this will have to be topped up regularly.
