Tricks to keep a tank warm.

[Vypyrz]

I'm thinking of getting some kind of insulation to put on the back and sides. Does anyone have any other tricks or will i have to heat the entire room?

There are a few things that you can use for insulation. Styrofoam or Polystyrene insulation, which is available in sheets at most home improvement stores. A cheaper alternative would be cardboard. Another alternative is foam core board. It is available at places like Wal-mart and Target. Usually, it is in the school supplies section with the poster board. It's about the same thickness as cardboard but is usually available in different colors.
