Hey guys, I think it's been about 6 months since I created a thread or posted on this forum. However, I am in need in some advice. I want a larger tank (120 gallons or so) to put some larger fish in. I moved across Texas recently and had to tear down and sell ALL of my aquariums. At this time, I just have a 20 gallon planted tropical community tank. (That's tough for crazy fish lady over here )
Okay, so here's the question:
The floors in the house that I rent absolutely cannot hold an aquarium over 20 gallons. At least I don't trust them to. It's an older(almost a century!!) pier and beam house. However, it does have an awesome detached garage that has a slab. I want to put said larger tank in this garage. The issue is that it is not well insulated or climate controlled. Being in Central Texas, the winters will not be a big issue but the summers will be. I'm wanting to stock it with either goldfish and/or koi (gross, I know) or African cichlids. This is a new idea, so definitely in the planning stages.
Any advice or information? Particularly on temperature control!
Thank you in advance!!!
