[QUOTE="Stormtrooper, post: 547928, member: 37216"] Hi everyone, I live in the UK and keep aquariums in my shed. It’s quite a small shed, about 2.5m wide, 2m deep. I’ve insulated it myself. With the current energy prices it’s getting quite expensive to run so looking for cheaper options. I was wondering what solar set up I’d need to run the following 6-8 28w led lights (these are on roughly 8 hours a day. 35w air pump (runs 24/7) Heating is the biggest expense in the winter. I currently hear all tanks separately but looking into getting an infrared heater and heat the room rather than tanks separately. (I know infrared heat objects rather than the air). Would need to research what model I’d get but these vary from 350w - 700w. They have thermostats so switch off at the disused temperature but I imagine would be running quite a lot of hours during the winter. Looking forward to your comments and advice. Thanks [/QUOTE]
