Garage tank question

[cprowler]

I'm just starting the process of moving my sump to the garage then adding a large fuge and most likly some sort of a prop tank. As Tom mentioned I am more worried about heat in the summer, I think with wrapping the tank and heaters the cold should not be a problem.

I will most likly have the MH's on the prop tank come on at night so the MH's are heating the water 24/7 to help with the cold at night in the winter. I'm hoping that will be better in the summer not having all the MH's on during the hot days. I will need a chiller for the summer anyway but hope that will keep the heat down so the chiller doesn't have to work as hard.

I will be building a enclosure around everything like a closet to keep fumes and dust out.


What are you doing for a sump/fuge/prop tank/water storage? Can you build something around them to keep the heat in?

I would hold off on putting the wife out in the garage for now as I am....there's probably a down side that we don't see.
