Re: [Killietalk] Heat losses
A quick and easy test to se if it will work, put a gallon jug of water on
the floor overnight and put a thermometer in it to see how much of a
difference it makes.
I would definately move anything living off the top shelf.
The "portable A/C" unit would work, but they are expensive to purchase and
expensive to run. I've been told that generally a inexpensive window unit
works better, if you have a suitable window. The protable units also need a
window for the rejection heat. The one I lookes at earlier this year neeed
to be within 4 feet of a window.
The protable units are much more expensive per btu that window units, even
energy star rated window units.

Yeah, that $500 portable AC is being considered...even as I'm already
reeling over gas shock for this new 07 guzzler...so what; just more money
money money
90F "in the rain" today, 88F in the fishroom...
...so far Australe & a.ahli seem "peachy" enough, as do most FP's & Epis...
But many of aphys really don't like it, esp the primegenium,,,a entire
winters worth of squeezing pairs from the coeleste, already went belly up
back in May's 90's spell...and now my surviving austrolebias are about to
hit the trading circuit or AB lest those get wasted also...praying I don't
find another "premature" bag of peat (forgot heat really shortens
incubation
for these annuals)...
The concrete floor suggestion is compelling, if nothing else for my peat to
sit on (which hasn't been moved from the top shelf since winter)
Thanks all...KC
