Day 189

Lima Shovelnose ran into side of tank(380 gal.) and broke nose...and he's not eating.

I have lots of heaters, 18 running. In this time, energy is on everyone's mind, saving energy that is. I keep all my heaters at 80*, I thought. I'm going to try to keep the tanks at average 75*, and see if I can decrease my kW/day usage. I have to factor in outside temperature and my setting up and taking down tanks. I am aware my fish will be less active and eat less. Here is a current list of tank temps.
