<p>I've found some other people with similar experience, and other say it worked well. So I really don't know... but I will probably try it.</p>
<p>When we first filled the hole to make a swimming pool (it took about 5-6000 liters) we couldn't get it worm, even in the summer. I guess the water volume was to big and needed more time to heat it up.</p>
<p>So my hope is, if I had 2 IBC's in the ground it would be a larger mass of water that will be cooled by the soil, then the volume of the grow…</p>

<p>I live in Southeast Alabama and have a fish tank that is buried into the ground. Because of the temperatures here, It does not seem to make much difference in the summer (as far as I can tell) probably because I'm not far enough under ground. I will say though that, in the winter, I have a difficult time getting the temperature up to a comfortable level for the tilapia. The ground temp stays between 60 and 65 all winter (especially in the harsh winter we had this last year) and defied all…</p>
<p>I live in Southeast Alabama and have a fish tank that is buried into the ground. Because of the temperatures here, It does not seem to make much difference in the summer (as far as I can tell) probably because I'm not far enough under ground. I will say though that, in the winter, I have a difficult time getting the temperature up to a comfortable level for the tilapia. The ground temp stays between 60 and 65 all winter (especially in the harsh winter we had this last year) and defied all efforts to maintain a balmy 72 or so. I don't have any other system to compare too but I hope my own experience gives you food for thought.</p>
