    What do you have for heating elements on the tank?
    You can try positioning a small fan over (not in) the very top of the tank to increase air flow, that will bring the temps down a little.

    If possible, I'd move them away from the window, direct sunlight can come in and really heat that tank up. I've recently stopped using any heat elements other than UTH unless the temp takes a sudden drop, generally just the UTH is enough to keep the ambient temps where it should be in my tank. I've found it easier to shut the fans off and sweat a little in my room to keep the ambient temps right than to wrangle with balancing A/C and heating elements. :D

    I would take your BCI out of his tank and hold him for a lil while till the temps drop. I would suggest opening that window above your tank and putting a lil fan above your tank. I wish you luck. When my bps tank get too hott I just take them out and hold them till it cools down. Good luck!

    get some kind of thermostat to regulate the temperatures!!!
    sorry if you have one. if the room is too hot just use a fan to cool the air. hope this may help

    thanks

    Yep, get some dimmer switches. Then just ease off on the power when the weather gets hot.
