Cough Cough, you think Fragman can FIT a car in his garage?
Doubt it.......
I've run many tanks out in my garage (never bothered parking a car inside) 300 watt heater will keep a 55 gallon and sump warm and fine. Garage tanks are nicer too, as the wife doesn't whine as much about slopping water and buckets around.
My next big goal, is to plumb the main house 135 tank out to a sump out in the garage with under-house plumbing........anyone else done this? I know Doug in Mill Creek did this, so what size plumbing? 1.5-2" PVC tank drains and a 1" pvc return line?
Also out in a un-heated garage is a great way to run a Cold Water reef during the winter months......our average PNW winter temps are 45-50 degrees, and so is the Puget Sound water temp. I've gone crabbing and brought back Dungeness Crab to keep 'em alive a couple weeks as we eat 'em up!
