I had to rent a backhoe for a job I was doing anyway (I do landscaping, among other things), so it didn't cost me anything extra to use it for this. You can see my existing 44 gallon tank. The bug zapper gives my fish bar-b-qued bugs at night, as they drop into the tank. The white sheets are styrofoam insulation sheets that I put on the sides of the tank at night, because the (2) 300 watt heaters that are in the tank can't keep up with the cold nights. Another view of the hole where the thermal mass will be built. The Hole.... Building the thermal mass. You can see the rebar on the bottom.... All the cores were filled with concrete.
