Hi guys,
I’ve had reef tanks in CA and now have a large build I’m planning here in Thornton. For those of you with large tanks, how many watts do you use to heat your tank in the winter. We generally keep our house around 68 and the build I have planned will be about 700 gallons and will be on the main level where the thermostat is. Along that same vein, do you think a chiller is needed for over the summer? Again, we keep the house about 72 in the summer.
My next question is about humidity. It’s a much drier climate here; how much humidity mitigation do you think is necessary? Right now I plan on using this in the sump area to push air to the exterior of the house.
