Hey guys. I have built a double stacker stand in the garage. I live in a townhouse with a tandem garage. The previous owners were 2 brothers and they built a seperate room in the back of the garage as a work out room with a door. This room is not insulatex though. Im planning to have 3 20g's / 2 30g's / 1 55g / 1 46g.
I'm wondering what if i will be able to keep these tanks warm enough for discus. If so what type of heating will i need for each individual tank?
No worries about keeping your tanks warm enough with individual heaters. I would suggest that you go to one of the sponsors on BCA and check out prices on ebo jagers.. !00 watt heaters will be sufficient for the 20"s and 30's....and probably 200 watt heaters for the 46 and 55. I know for certain that if you talk to Ron at King Ed or one of the guys at J & L , you will get a good price on that many heaters.
**As a side note. I have had many "fish rooms" over the years. In one of my homes, I didn't have a spare room to make into a fish room so I used a "portiton " of my garage.....not an enclosed room as you mention....my "room" was just a small area of my double garage
In this "fish room", I had 20 + tanks running with individual heaters, and managed to keep a very successful guppy breeding program going.
Feel free to p.m. me if you have any further questions or want any assistance in setting up your room. I will give you my mobile # where you can contact me. Good luck in your new venture.....
