Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

I'm planning on setting up a system up here in Ontario, Canada, and I'd like to figure out how much electricity its going to cost me to keep it warm. I'll be using an IBC system, with the GB covering 3/4 of the FT. The FT will end up being about 750L, and it will be in an insulated 8' x 8' shed. Anyone have any experience heating a system through the winter?

Is the entire system inside? what is the air temperature? what do you plan to heat the tank with? a standard aquarium heater? Wayyyy to many variables to consider; there is no real way to get you a good ball park. but its not going to be cheap thats for sure.

If you want a wild guess from someone who has a lot of experience with large aquariums I will blindly say 15-20kwday using standard aquarium heater.
