Hello
I have a question today regarding fish tanks and Fire places. Now I know we aim to keep our temperature as stable as possible however I have a dilemma and concern .
We are coming up on fall and winter and I will be burning wood in my stove . My tank is in the same room about 15-20 feet away . The room itself is maybe 100-150 sq feet not sure exactly haha . Anyway I burned fires all winter last year and my tempature in the tank would go up about 1-2 degrees F on the gauge.
My questions now after my rambling......
1) is the smoke from the fire any concern for the tank life?
2 ) would temporary temperature swings of 1-4 degrees be a concern on a day to day baseis or should be fine ?
3) how many of you if any of you use fireplaces in the same room as your tank?
