zexen Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Hi guys, My fishing club runs around a 3000 litre live fish tank at a fishing event. I'm just wondering on the options to heat it they really only need to keep the temperature at around 20 degrees and only for a couple of days. any input would be much appreciated Thanks Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 What time of year do they need to have the tank running? In summer up there I doubt you will need to use anything. If its close to the ocean you could just pump seawater through the tank constantly to control the temp Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zexen Posted May 27, 2008 Author Share Posted May 27, 2008 Thanks for the replies guys I'll look into the gas heating. I know last year they could only fill the tank on certain tides but I haven't seen the setup so I don't actually know yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Solar heating? a thermostat controlling a pump running the tank water through a big roll of black poly sitting in the sun behind the tank Insulate it well & night time won't be an issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
