do u have any idea how much electric the fish tank heaters consume?? are they expensive to run
What's the wattage of your heater?
I use a 75W in a 30 litre FV for my 15-19 litre wine fermenters or a 150W in my 50 litre stock pot for my 25-30 litre FVs.
The heater won't be on continuously and it will help if you put some insulation around your bucket, like an old duvet or sleeping bag.
I would guestimate running costs for my 150W at no more than 10p per day.
