hobodeeks Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 I'm wondering if no heater is an option. Anyone have experience around the area doing so? If not an option, does anyone have a recommendation on what month approx to put the heater in to save on power. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Link2Hell Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Hi and welcome @hobodeeks heaters are thermostatically controlled so lt only closes the circuit when temps are below what it is set at most Africans rift lake species can handle a temp drop to 18-20 deg C depends on if you are feeling lucky as to whether to turn the heater off outside spring to autumn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inside a well-insulated house, I reckon you'd almost get away without a heater year round. I'm in Canberra, so considerably colder, I turn the heaters off November-ish and leave them off until late March/April depending on the weather. Yesterday my two tanks were both sitting at 22 degrees. A few factors to consider would be, size of the tank (large tank = larger thermal mass = less fluctuation), thickness of glass, and house's insulation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
