Post subject:  Keeping Fish Warm in Winter

I have only been here a short time and I have seen this question many times. " I live in _____, will____ survive in winter?
It may not be an option to everyone, but a rocket stove mass heater. This is what it is ... http://www.richsoil.com/rocket-stove-mass-heater.jsp
And this is mainly how it can be applied... https://youtu.be/qtFvdMk3eLM
I only plan on a platform under the tanks.
Heating the water to warm the greenhouse will work better than heating the air to warm the water.
A wood burning stove heats the air with tons of wood, and most heat is released out the chimney... a rocket stove uses minimal wood but maximum heat retention.
Research on the subject reveals many options for endless applications. This was already my greenhouse plan before I stumbled on growing fish the easy way. (AP)
If this only helps one other person I'll be happy. :flower:

Bump..

Does not seem to have been recognised as an option.. possibly because you likely have to start with it at the start of the project..
The concept seems good...

rocket mass heaters have been mentioned here quite a bit, i think thats why no one has jumped in yet.
