You know those 'silica gel' packs that come with shoes, electronics?




a kinder,


Do they really need to warn people not to eat them? Would someone say, "Hey, look! They gave me a packet of salt with my new shoes! Let's go out to eat!"?

Wouldn't someone who ate such a thing deserve what they got anyways?
You people are GREAT!!

Fish tank heat?? Is there an alternative way to heat a fish tank?




Ben


I have no power at my house which means no fish tank heaters or heat in general.. The outside temp is 37 and i need to know if theres anyway i can keep the tanks heated?


Answer
I'll start off with a couple good ideas that may actually help you. If I start rambling about cavemen and sled dogs, you'll know to stop reading.

A fireplace if you have one will warm up parts of the house. You may be able to rent a generator or buy one at WalMart, Home Depot, Sears, etc. that will be big enough to power the electrical systems of a gas furnace. or a least a couple small electric space or radiant heaters. Styrofoam insulation boards may help slow the loss of heat from the tank. Don't use towels or blankets for insulation because they can dip in the tank and start a siphon on to the floor. Battery operated air pumps actually cool down the tank rapidly by forcing cold room air into the tank and creating evaporative cooling at the surface.

If cavemen had kept tropical fish, I imagine they would have had to heat up rocks in their bonfires in front of the cave entrance and then set a few hot rocks under their aquariums. In the 1850's aquariums were made with cast iron bottoms so that the owner could set a Bunsen burner or a few candles under the aquarium to keep it warm. That would be a huge mistake with a glass or acrylic aquarium. And forget your sled dogs helping you out. You read "To Build A Fire" didn't you?
