Maybe 3 people will ever read this. Huzzah!
So, the IBC is full of water, and the heatwave we're experiencing is really helping by increasing the temperature of the water. Now, I have to come up with a way to maintain the heat.
1 - Insulation! I will surround it with an inch(ish) of styrofoam, including the top, and leave a hatch for feeding
2 - Heating! this is the problem. The fish will smash any glass heaters, the heaters will melt the side of the IBC, so what do I do? At the moment I'm thinking about floating a glass heater with it's plastic guard in a piece of styrofoam. My hope is that would be sufficient: one 300 watt heater. With the insulation, it should be sufficient, right?
I realized yesterday I can move one or two first, lowering the nitrogen pressure on the downstairs tank, and literally testing the waters of the outside tank.
This may still work!
