Anybody got any ideas on how to make a heater to heat a ibc tank off your wood boiler. I am overwintering Tilapia in my garage for the winter. I could run the pex through the tank but the key would be to regulate the temp. Thanks in advance.

A simple Aqua Stat probe in the tank to control a circ and an adjustable tempering valve should do the trick for you.

Thank you my old friend. To the rescue as always.

You are very welcome and keep us updated, someday I might try some aquaponics, that would interesting.

If you immerse a coil of pex in the tank, start and stop the flow through the coil with an aquastat or temp controller, then is a tempering valve needed?

I don’t think I would want 180 degree water running through the pex, better to temper it down close to the desired tank temp and go slow I would think.
