I think I finally found a larger tank that the wife likes!!! Super stoked to find one used as well for a very descent price.
I am starting my planning phase and I am considering drilling through the wall and placing my sump, external protein skimmer, and a 75g or so refugium in the garage. There seems to be a perfect place in the garage for it, with water access, and it should be easy for me to plump a sink and drain right next to the sump.
I have never done this in California and am concerned about temperatures. I live 2.5 miles from the ocean, but it still gets warm here 4-5 months a year and my garage is not insulated now.
For people who have done something similar is this worth doing, and if so what steps have you taken besides a chiller to keep the temperatures under control?
Just trying to see what is feasible and what is not.
Thank you!
