Curious to see how many pellets you are consuming.   #136 mhowe9 Total Posts : 924 Scores: 2 Reward points : 2479 Joined: 12/15/2008 Location: Auburn Hills, MI, US Status: offline MBI: 120 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:The "Breeding Barn Build" Tuesday, January 8, 2013 10:26 PM (permalink) 0 The pellet furnace is going pretty well.  The first couple weeks I had some bugs to work out and some learning on how to use it so that it runs effectively.  You have to vacuum the ashes out every so often, I had to learn that without letting my fire go out, which gave me a little trouble at first.  Once I got it running effectively I have it set on the lowest setting and am using about a bag a day.  Before I got things figured out, I was at 2-3 a day.   Right now, my water temp has been consistently running between 79-80 degrees. Give me a couple more months and I will give you better update.   Also since it takes air from the room, it also is a good dehumidifier.  The room's humidity is running around 30%.  When I had the electric heat it was running about 40-50%.   I am kind looking forward to summer when nature heats it for free.  LOL   #137 JC Clownfish Total Posts : 128 Scores: 2 Reward points : 188 Joined: 9/22/2012 Location: portland, OR, US Status: offline MBI: 0 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:The "Breeding Barn Build" Tuesday, January 8, 2013 11:01 PM (permalink) 0 looks good possible man cave up stairs haha   #138 mhowe9 Total Posts : 924 Scores: 2 Reward points : 2479 Joined: 12/15/2008 Location: Auburn Hills, MI, US Status: offline MBI: 120 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:The "Breeding Barn Build" Wednesday, January 9, 2013 7:35 AM (permalink) 0 Don't know yet what I will do with the upstairs.  Maybe add more fish.  There some things I have to do to it if I want to add fish up there.   #139 dave w Total Posts : 296 Scores: -2 Reward points : 549 Joined: 11/17/2012 Location: fairfax, VA, US Status: offline MBI: 0 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:The "Breeding Barn Build" Wednesday, January 9, 2013 9:24 AM (permalink) 0 Have you insulated your ceiling yet?  It seems that styrofoam or fiberglass batt insulation there would be a lot less work than all the headaches of heating and cooling.   #140 Online Bookmarks Sharing: Facebook Digg Google del.icio.us StumbleUpon Change Page: < 123456789 > | Showing page 7 of 9, messages 121 to 140 of 167 - powered by ASPPlayground.NET Forum Trial Version
