I actually bury the reservoir about halfway to keep it cool.. on really bad days I'll drop a frozen 2ltr of water into em..
I haven't had any issues with mosquitoes, not really sure why? Might be the tadpoles/frogs.. there everywhere and I just let em have at it
Hey SQWIBB, That would be considered a dutch bucket setup yes? I've been thinking of setting a small (5-6 Buckets) unit up myself..
