Running Inverter from car......question

[miserkris]

Hi
I'm running a radio shack 350w inverter....to power a 75g dt only... in a cold basement.

Running 2 k3s , and a 150w heater. Along with bubblers which are battery operated.

What's the absolute min temp below which corals would die ?

How often should I start car to charge battery ? If I test battery and it reads 12v or more am I ok without running engine ?

Thx

Wrap the sides (not the top) of your tank with blankets to help maintain heat...from what I hear you have better chances keeping the tank at a minimum of 70*F...
