Garage

[joecoral]

Due to unforseen circumstances (my lanlord has decided he is "concerned" about the risk of me having a large volume of water in my bedroom) I am no longer allowed to keep my fish tank in my house.
Unfortunately the only feasible location is can currently be stored is in the garage at my parents house. I am however concerned about the cold. Do you think this will be ok? Is there anything I can do to help the situation?

Mmm. not nice at all! You can try to insulate your tank a bit on the sides and back. And otherwise only let your heater work harder I am afraid.

If it is larger than 30 US gallons you might get a second heater as well

would it be worth getting a second heater to put at the opposite end of the tank to try and keep the temp more stable?

oops, you must have wrote that while i was writing my post. tank is approx 45 USG, so worth getting a second heater then?
