I’m in the planning stages of a 500 gallon (120”x36”x30”).
It will sit in (what was my) dining room, behind a false wall. The room is 13ftx15ft, and has a single door access point, and one window.
The room will also have 2/3 large coral tables (maybe 72”x36”x12”). Mixing station barrels etc..
I’m wondering about whether heating, and cooling would be cheaper/more efficient if I maintained the ambient room temperature at 26.C,
I have gas radiator in there (could put on a separate thermostat to the rest of the house) and maybe buy an air conditioner to cool the room to 26.C during the summer months (although in UK so not many days are over 26 anyway )
**Looking for thoughts/ideas ✌
Thinking I could save on 2000+w of electric heaters as they would only “supplement” the heating of the tanks, and a portable air conditioner is around £300/$400..whereas a huge chiller is £2500/$3500
Thanks in advance
