Your Nitrite level should be at 0 especially when you don’t have anything living there. Your tank is probably still going thru a cycle. I actually waited about 4 week with my live rock and live sand before I put anything in my tank and now everything is good. I stared off with a couple snails...

Yeah for sure I'll try Fan before buying expensive cooler... I was also thinking if you can put a container with ice on it to cool down the tank . Thanks for the advise
