ok just wondering but how the hell you heat a pool of that size i have been thinking of doing this but with being in the basement how would you heat the water or can thay take the colder temps in the mid 60's?

I have a vent less gas heater I keep the room about 78 to 80 and have about 1000 watts of heaters in the sump.I'm waiting on two more 400 watt heaters. I also sealed the room in plastic.

what about moisture in that room with that heat and the water evap you have to be gitting water condensing on the ceiling

 

[dhardwick]

Thats what the plastic is for I get a little condensation in the corner where there's a small draft

when I first got my rtc, i put him in my simplistic 37 g set up. No heaters. at 68 F he did quite well and grew about 3 inches in 5 months. I moved him over to the 110 g at 78F and he doubled in a month. worst part, is he recently learned that he is the biggest fish in the tank. now everytime he smells food he eats everything and I have a hard time even hand feeding the other fish
