macro farm outside

[joekidwell]

I want to boost production of my macro, is it possible to have a tank outside here in Tn in the summer months? Would I need a chiller or a greenhouse with a fan? Im sure the water would cook it here unless I had some way to cool it.

with as much as our weather swings, i probably wouldnt bother. as im sure you know it can be 90 here 1 day and 40 the next lol

Digging the tanks a few feet into the ground will help to stabilize the temperature.

I know a very successful coral farmer who started out in Pittsburgh.

I might look into a soda can heater controlled by a temperature guage for your winter months as well.

I'd go greenhouse if possible

Good Luck.

Pacific East Aquaculture in MD uses a sunlit greenhouse.

If it was in the ground, like a koi pond, it should have much more stable temps.
