heater

Hey guys! So yesterday, I was asking if a fish with a dorsal fin out of the water too much time would be harmed xD The thing is, one of my fishes (Gem) got stuck between the tank heater and the wall. She's fine though! I was really worried when she was swimming badly, but her tankmates kept...

Is the AquaEL Ultra heater any good, or is it a (not so) cheap knockoff of the Cobalt Neo-Therm? I have had great luck with the Neo-Therm in the past, and accidentally ordered the AquaEL from BRS instead since it looked the same.

Hey everyone! I am still in the research phase in preparation for my very first tank and am a little overwhelmed with how to set up a relatively reliable heating system without spending more than $125 or so on heating. The tank will be 25 gallons, so 100w heating requirement. In adding layers...

I have a heater attached to an Ink Bird controller. Do you recommend setting the heater itself at 78 and the Ink Bird at 80 so the temp is maintained by the internal heater mechanism with the Ink Bird as backup or vice versa (Ink Bird at 78, heater at 80 to save heater cycles)? Thanks.

Is this a bad idea to have rock holding down the heater? Also are these heaters good for reef tanks?

I have a 75W Eheim Jager heater coupled with an Inkbird controller - its been working fine for the last 7-8 Months - but I woke up this morning to the Inkbird alarm saying it got up to 80 degrees when it has never done that before (usually dialed in between 78-79). About an hour ago I turned...

I have an Inkbird 306A controlling two 150w heaters. Occasionally the Inkbird will show an "Abnormal" alarm (at normal temperature-78F) and will cut power to the heaters, which can drop the temp of my tank about 2-degrees F overnight. The only way to reset the Inkbird's alarm is by cycling the...

I have an 8 foot long 310 gallon aquarium with an IceCap 48XL sump. I bought two eheim jager heaters for it (300w & 250w). I’m placing the 250w either in the skimmer or the refugium section of the sump and was thinking to put the 300w inside the overflow box to keep a clean look inside of the...

Hi, I’m starting my journey breeding clownfish. I will have three pairs (I’d start with one, but I already have three unpaired female clownfish so why not?). If each pair lays twice a month, I’ll reasonably need 6 fry tanks. I’m going to divide a 55 gal into 6 sections that are ~9.5 gallons...

Bought two new Ehiem Trutemps 100w for my 65 gal. To replace my old ones that were stuck in the on position. And either I’m calibrating them wrong or I have the worst luck because these new ones also won’t shut off. I’m waiting on my heater controller but in the mean time I decided to leave one...

Hi guys, This is my first post here :). Excited to be a part of the community. This evo is my first saltwater tank in about 10 years. I just got cycled, did a large water change and am ordering fish tomorrow! I haven't installed my skimmer yet, but I moved my m50 heater to the return chamber...

Hi everyone! Its getting to that very short time of year where I need to figure out a good heater for my 29 gal BioCube (I say this because I live in Florida, so not much need for one outside of maybe 3 months out of the year so I've been putting off getting one). I'm also in the market for an...

I am in the process of setting up a 120 gallon rimless reef tank and had the following questions for the fellow reefers. 1) What kind of foam would you recommend to go underneath this rimless tank?. 2) I was planning to use a 40 gallon breeder as the sump. Please let me know whether this is a...

What is a good heater for my 5 gallon QT? I’m debating between these but scared of the bad reviews: - Cobalt Aquatics Accu Therm Submersible Heaters - Aqueon 100528680 Adjustable Aquarium Heater - Eheim Jager Aquarium Thermostat Heater

I woke up Thursday to a horrible smell. I thought my kids left the oven in it something. When I went in the living room my tank was cloudy and the external temp display was blinking 98.9. I reached into the water and it was very hot. All of my fish were floating (except for a freshwater...

Hello - I’m venturing back into the hobby after a 15 year hiatus. Starting small - I went with an Evo 13.5. I’m looking for a recommendation on a solid compact heater for it. Based upon research, it looks like the Fluval M series May be a bit too long for the tank. I used to use eheim heaters...

I noticed last night that I've had this issue for months now and I can't figure it out. They claim plugging your heater straight into the apex is bad because of the numerous duty cycles that happen. I purchased an ink bird controller and quickly realized that thing is junk. it couldn't keep a...

Hello, Please recommend a best reliable good quality heater. Thank you.

Hey guys, I’m curious what heaters you guys use and how accurate and stable it is. Also what do you consider “stable”? +-2 degrees? Here’s my apex reading for the past week. I’d like to keep it a lot more stable than this but wondering I’m looking into too much.

Hello everyone, I'm having trouble deciding what to spend money on that I wasn't expecting to get. I have an extra $400-600 to spend on my tank and I really dont need to get livestock for it so decided to put the money towards upgrading equipment on my tank. About my tank, its a 120 gal...

While getting my Biocube 32 together and ready I had a couple questions on current and future upgrades of equipment. 1. lighting: I was looking at Steve’s LED upgrade. Is this something I could add in later? I’d like to start cycling the aquarium soon and not sure if I want to wait till I can...
