Post subject:  Water temp

New to the site. Just a quick question for anyone that can help. I have done a lot of research but have not seen this covered. I am planning on building a greenhouse keeping it heated with wood heat. I am planning on using ibc buried in the ground for the fish to keep water temp constant. I know the water will probably be around 50 to 55 in the ground. I am planning on and eb and flo type beds. My question is this. Do you think that the water flowing through the system would keep the fish water warmed up if I keep the greenhouse in the 65 to 70 deg range. Or should I plan on doing something to increase the water temp in the tanks? Thanks for your help

Yes, you will stay very close to ambient temp, especially once the soil around the tank warms up.

If you keep the water temp up you may not need to use the wood stove. Warm water heats green houses nicely.
