Living in Ohio the winter weather is here/coming. With this comes slightly cooler home temps at our house, and certainly in the “somewhat” heated basement. Yeah it’s warm down there, but definitely cooler the the rest of the home.
Anyways, with my sump being in the basement and the tank heater coming on more and more during these cold months, am I able to drop my tank temp a few degrees as well? Of course slowly, if yes.
My tank currently is and always has been a steady 77.5*F. I run a 300w heater as my main source with a 200w backup that may randomly kick on to supplement when it gets colder.
I’ve been in the hobby almost 12yrs and never really thought about changing temps during the colder months.
Is it worth it? Electricity wise? Other reasons?Or don’t even bother?
Thanks!
