I use a plastic uninsulated greenhouse tent in south Florida during wintertime. Though our winter days average a high in January of 75F (24C) we do occasioinally have nights that drop into the 40's and rarely into the 30's. On sunny days, I had daytime temps inside the greenhouse of 120F to 130F. The thermal mass of my fish tank held the water temp in the low to mid 60's even during the coldest nights and the rare frosts were never an issue. I had to artificially heat my outdoor fish tanks on the coldest nights, but the tilapia thrived inside the greenhouse without any outside source of heating.Originally Posted by asaad
I would assume Iraq has LOTS of sunny winter days so a greenhouse might be just the thing to keep your tilapia happy and thriving, Asaad!
