Bro, how much it can cool depends on your atmospheric temperature. It works by evaporation theory but do standby to top up tank water every now & then.

Yah true, if atmospheric temp is high, the tank temp wiht cooling fan will be relatively higher

Its been super quiet for the past 1 month, guess most are very busy. haha.

Anyway, how about sending the fella to a hospital tank? Wait for it to recover and reintroduce it back to the main tank.

I got 1 mblue which has the same symptom as yours except its eating well, mine was due to agression, thought its going to die, treat him with medicine for 2-3 time still the same, and its has been more than a month yet its still surviving.

Maybe your Alpha over sexually active and become weak, hahaha...joking.

Try to put him into another tank, add salt and medication (treatment for internal bacteria) and hope for the best.
