Michael7979 Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 So with the cold weather is anyone seeing their tank temps. drop? Since mine is in the garage i noticed that the temp. was down this morning. So I added a spare heater to the tank and I'm running a small space heater in the garage also. Since doing this i have gotten the temp. back to normal. Anybody else dealing with something like this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmike Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 yep, I have a 70 gallon in my garage and noticed it dip into the high 75 range yesterday:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyles Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Yes, tank is 75 gallon with 30-40 gallon sump in garage. I wrapped it in a blanket but even with 500 watts of heating it still struggles in the 74-75 area at night. Nothing seems effected by it but short term I have made a few arrangements to help keep garage warmer. If I get more time I would probably get some foam insulation and wrap my tank in the garage to help keep the heat in better or spray foam but I think the salt creep will get all over that stuff.

andy Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Just get some pink foam sheet insulation from Home Depot and use duct tape to hold it on. It'll keep things nice and toasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
