SamH Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 You mean a fish room with single story tanks on their own stands or a room with rows of tanks on shelves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AquaVitamins Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Could you vent the room? like install one of thoz bathroom things _ "Exhaust Fan" I dont think they are too expensive, they sell them at Miter 10 mega, and you could properly cut the hole yourself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AquaVitamins Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Hahaha, damn. Do it anyway! Nar im out of ideas bro, open the windows and put a fan in the room? Ice in the tanks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamH Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Just measure the max temps it gets to on the hottest days, if it exceeds the temp of your coolest tank, you need to change something. The problem is usually having too little heat, not too much. At least you'll save power? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 If it gets hot in the summer it will probably get cold in the winter so heating the room could get expensive then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New_to_fish_world Posted September 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Na we got a HRV so it doesn't to cold in the room Might wait to summer really kicks in then see how hot the room gets. So it could take me a year I guess that will be a good thing Gives a year to sort out all the crap in the room :oops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zev Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Block the windows out with sheets of polystyrene... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AquaVitamins Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Yea, that would work! But it would look really ugly, maybe paint them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamH Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 Thats an awesome idea Zev. If all goes to plan, the office shall be mine. Already have three tanks on the shelf, just got wireless so noone needs to go in there anymore, might move my PC in there though :-? .

New_to_fish_world Posted September 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 That sounds like a cool thing to do but I won't be able to do it We have the dinning room table in there and it's huge so we can't move it, Also I don't know what the landlord would think of us doing that :-?
