Trying to find out if Anyone done this beyond the fishroom level? Furnace is busted, winter is coming, and looking for a sustainable win-win alternative.

Some details:

Currently running approximately 1200 gallons in ~50 tanks with submersible heaters and covered tops. Tank temps average in the mid to high 70s range.

Drafty, but plastic sealed windows at the moment and there is a large 10×25 ft living area with a cathedral ceiling to contend with (normal ceilings elsewhere). Crawlspace throughout (if this matters). Location is SE Michigan. About 80% of the 1250 s/f home has been reinsulated. 1930s wood frame style.

Trying to locate a formula/calculators to see if I can add more aquariums at a lower cost than buying a new heating system. No luck with Google there beyond furnace btu calculators.
