Re: Outdoor Aquarium Qs
I posted once about this before, but received no response, so I'm going
to try again in the hope that somebody finds it interesting, please? J
I'm going to have an outdoor aquarium on my terrace. I live near the
Mediterranean (Barcelona) where summer temps usually hit 35ºC and winter
temps. About 0º to -5º Celsius. I'm looking at two possibilities,
either a high-top covered aquarium, or no cover as I want the plants to
be able to grow out of the water. Ambient light only will be used (at
first, anyway).
My questions are:
1 If I have an uncovered tank, will their be a problem with frost or
will the water temp. protect the emersed leaves?
2 Will heat loss in winter be a major problem?
3 Has anyone tried anything like this?
I hope somebody answers this if only to say no to Qs. 1 and 3 and "I
haven't a clue" to Q2!
Thanks in advance C:)lin
