Insulation of the room makes a huge difference. Old drafty house, it cost me about 80 bucks a month to run my reptile room, it was about 64sqft. New house, I built the room. insulated 200sqft room ambient only (room is 86 degrees all the time). $35

This is super interesting. My wife and I have discussed doing a new build, and I was "given permission" to do a reptile room/fish room. I'd love to hear more about your design process. Did you do anything other than insulate it, and did you add in any time saving items, like maybe a sink or something in the room?

Yeah, have a sink and a hose hooked up to a mixing valve so the water isn't too cold or too hot. I have a build thread on here but most of the photos were on photobucket before they got greedy.

Actually in the process of building a new one out in the garage. Little bigger, more square 15x15 vs 20x10. Will have more fans as I feel air moving was an issue in my current room. Doing fiberglass wall panels for ease of cleaning and not getting the walls dinged up as much. Going to do a lot better prep work on the floor on this one lol. When I mop there's spots that grab the mop, it doesn't slide well. Still having a sink and mixing valve hose (love that thing lol..
