In the summer I have to use a cooler which is an in-line beer cooler, much cheaper and far more efficient than the proper aquarium coolers. HMA filter running at approx 50-75 litres per day constant trickle feed with overflow drain (it's quite scary drilling holes in glass!).Īs this tank is in a single wall back room, there is a 500W heater just in case it gets really cold but it rarely comes on, the filters usually generate enough heat to keep it around 18 - 21C.
