Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

I'm trying to save 200. Not horrible. 100 each for hippie kid and myself.
Do you get tips at work? Maybe the heels would be the more sensible work shoe. :)
 
Rarely open the window by the tank. Full sun there. I'm going to try to combat it without using the CO2 scrubber, but I do have one jic.
Maybe extend your skimmer's air input line through the wall to fresh air outside of your home?
 
So if you extend air line for us in the northern part of the country. What do we do when air temps drop to -20 or more? I was looking at doing that but scared of air temps
thinking of the same but last winter we had 3-5 days of -25 to -32.
dang polar vortex hit us 3 times last winter

Well, I clearly haven't thought this through for people who live in a deep freeze for part of the year.

Seriously though, perhaps a bit larger heater could take care of whatever difference that would make in water temp. Where is Bill Nye the Science Guy (or in my day, Mr. Wizard) when you need him? :)

Please don’t hate me, I forgot to take pics but there was this very basic torch, purple on purple with about 7-8 heads for sale for 60 at Manhattan aquariums. I’m kinda regretting it now.

Right but what will that do to the skimmer and water right around the intake. Since it is being drawn in and compressed just a bit it will further lower the temp. Not that bad for 30-40 but an extreme of -20 - -40. I'll play it safe no line to the exterior.
