    Freeze some water bottles and place them in the tank.

    That ice will melt and change your sg....just freeze some in a bottle and place it in the tank.

    The bottle idea is a good one.

    Turn off all lights and take the top off the tank and blow a fan on it. Crank up the AC while you're at it.

    You could put a fan to blow across the top of the water.

    You Really have a yellow Tank in a 29G Tank? Hope you are planning an upgrade

    I would turn off my lighting and use a fan to cool off the tank
