Default Ecomical space heating

Hi all
I've just put up my new fish room & looking for alternative ways for heating up the space economically due to the fact that here in South Africa we pay through our noses for electricity.
The room is an old cold room 4.5mX3mX2.5m high.
any sugestions ?

If you have access to natural gas or propane, you might want to look at ventless gas heaters. Units with thermostatic controls start at about $125 US and can be found in home depot.

Good Luck,

Chris

If you have to use electricity you can make a window heat pump out of a window air conditioner but it required some modification.

Otherwise, why not just put heaters in the tank?
