I have a five month old double mahoi growing in a 5 gallon bucket on my parents' deck. Soon evening temps will be dropping down (this is in USDA zone 4, in central NH), so I want to move it inside.
I have two options for moving it inside. One, in the family room, where I have a corner behind a couch where it will get indirect light from two nearby windows, and where the thermostat should keep it at a minimum of 50F all winter (this is a lake house, they're not up there all the time).
The second is in the basement, in front of a super-sunny window, where it shouldn't ever drop below 40F at night, but might get down there on cold nights, and then warm up in front of the sunny window during the day.
How should I think about these options? My first attempt at overwintering in a room that is not my own living room where it's kept at conventional temps.
