Well after taking my wife to a very nice hatchery and her kind heart feeling bad watching me do all those water change. My wife has finally decided to give me the garage/basement as the fish room.
So I was wondering if anyone has a similar setup in a cold region? My basement is also the garage. We had a terrible winter here in the NE so I was wondeirng what the electricity bill was going to be like. Do you have a seperate room with some insulation? What about heating the water? I know it would cost more to heat the water because the room temperature is lower but does anyone have a rough idea of how much more it cost?
What about supplementing it with a space heater?
Sorry for all the questions but I am really excited about this...
