  1. This thread is making me wonder how much I pay to heat my tank in the garage. I've thought of insulation on the garage door to save costs and I'm only in the 76-78 range.

    I found out to heat my 180 reef tank to 82 i was spending about 300-400 a year in electricity.

     

     

    Hey old salt.

     

    Find out with a kill-a-watt, might be spendy as you suspect! 

     

    Bombertech has some garage tips as he lives in colder eastern oregon.  I think he does things like covering the tanks in acyrlic, utilizes insulation etc...

    Thats how i found out how much it was running me, the heater was costing me way more then even my LED lights,

  2. I was just wondering which people suggest heating the main tank or heating the sump? i keep my tank heated to about 80-82 and its been costing me a fortune just to heat the tank so im trying to find a way to cut the cost a little bit without heating the room to that level (room is usually 65).

  3. I was wondering if anyone knows a good way to repair scratches on an acrylic tank i got a 55 gal and have been trying the wet-sand paper of 1500 grain, and then polish but i think im just creating more scratches. any help would be appriciated.
