I assume you have an under tank heater in the enclosure. I usually cool whoever I'm going to cool between mid Nov. and Jan. so you have some time. Just turn your UTH down a little at a time for about 5 days. Keep it in the low 70's if possible, though I think I turned mine off entirely last year. If they are kept in a room that's always really hot, there's nothing you can do except to get the ambient temp.down. I'm in New England and in the winter during the day my thermostat is set at 60F.
