I just know SWMBO would love this: question is ....

[ToughButterCup]

 Will it pass BRs ?

Stolen without shame from here

[ProDave]

As long as it is 900mm high all the way (which that one may not be)

 

Personally, I would have that as an "after sign off" project.

 

You would need to make the stairs wider so they are still a compliant width with the tank in place.

 

KM would approve, and you would instantly be on Grand Designs.

 

I think your idea we discussed yesterday is less controversial 

[SteamyTea]

What fish would you put in it?

So not the old trout then.

[scottishjohn]

you might not even need heater in it if it was a modern house?

[ToughButterCup]

Now there's a thought John..... we only need 24 to 27 C , so after the tank had settled down, it really wouldn't take much to heat

[scottishjohn]

i think you will find that alot of tropical fish will happily live with low 20,s if accustomed to it --leave the bag they come in in tank for 24 hrs before letting them out --but leave top undone or they will not get air

 

[ProDave]

So would a 27 degree fish tank do the whole house heating in a passive house?  Cue the calculator guru's.

[SteamyTea]

@JSHarris is the one for working out the latent heat of evaporation.

[ToughButterCup]

A very large tank such as the one we are planning would certainly affect the humidity ...

Plumb it into the MVHR.

Large round tank in the middle of the house with immersion connected to PV (with thermostat), and diverter to DHW tank, job done

Not in England and Wales ... ? no minimum width requirement south of the border ...

If you can get one that goes low enough and small hysteresis (tho poached fish is a good way to cook it ?).

A poor show! Width is always important! ?

Do the likes of Stairbox etc have a box to tick for "additional dead load"?

I would have said that's a marine fish. 

Lots more expensive to set up and maintain. But if I were to keep fish again its definately the route I would go.

Keep sea bass, you are only allowed to catch one now.

North Sea fisheries are currently closed to cod fishing I think.

Eat Haddock, for Cod's sake.

I was at Hastings Blue Reef Aquarium earlier. Loads of sea bass there...

would be interested where you got that info from, if its true somebody would need to tell the 12 boats that landed a little over 12000kg of cod today in shetland, not that it would bother me as haddock is far nicer anyway
