Here is the situation: I live in Denver, CO and I recently I had to move into a basement on extremely short notice due to circumstances outside of my control.
There are two issues I'm dealing with and the first is the most important: the average temperature in the basement is approximately 60 degrees sometimes down to 50. I have no control of the temperature of the basement as the a/c controls are upstairs and I have no access to the upstairs (separate tenant). I have a 100w in a 55gal, 40w in a 20, 25w in a 10,
Ans a 15w in a 5. These are only able to bring the temperature up to barely 72. The fish aren't happy but are surviving. Any body have any suggestions for a solution?
The second is this: it is a very old house and the largest circuit available to me is a 15amp circuit. In addition to the mentioned heaters I have 2 aqueon air pumps, a Marineland magnum 250 filter, a Zoomed turtle filter, 5 circulation pumps, and about 100w of lighting. Im not sure how much I can add before the circuit gets overloaded.
Any thoughts you guys have on these two issues would be greatly helpful.
Thanks!
