    Feel free to comment on what your approach is to things. The poll style will allow for the selection of multiple answers if you've done different things that have worked for you.
    I would not call it cooling per se, but I drop my hot temps about 4 degrees for a month or so, and knock it back up in Feb... the sexy happens and the eggs happen. So I just stick with it.
