I recently installed a heater. Never had one before, living in hot south Florida, never really needed one, but I decided to add one to keep temps a little bit warmed in the house with air conditioning.
I have been check the temps today and I noticed that my salinity kinda follows it. I know salt...
Hey everyone!
I am coming up on about a year and a half with my colbalt heater in my 120gal, my question is I hear you should switch them out about a year to a year and a half.
My question is it’s still running great as of now but should I go ahead and replace it or just get a second one and...
Yesterday evening I noticed my temperature dropping fairly steadily and it was looking like the heater died. I ran to PetCo, picked up a spare, and hooked it up to the Ink-Bird. It ran for about 6 hours, and then... Nothing. Back up heater down. Double checked my settings on the IB, and...

I was just cleaning my tank and I forgot to unplug my heater so when the water level went below the heater it started to steam the heater looks fine now but it melted the suction cups. Also the cotton on the bottom of the heater doesn’t look Bunt what should I do buy a new one or do you guys...
I upgraded my tank to a much larger set up! So now I want to sell this good equipment to a new home! Everything here is less than 8 months old in good condition. Nuvo Abyss Pano tank AIO, Desk Top Skimmer, A fairly new Mighty jet 326 gph desktop return pump, a via aqua 100w heater, and 5 filter...
Used reefer 525XL v3 roughly 6-7mo old. Broke tank down as I have a lot going on in life and would rather break the tank down then neglect it. Tank will come with stand, sump and Clarisea Fleece Roller. Sump was modified with a check valve on the return and filter socks were cut out for fleece...
Hello everyone,
Recently broke down my tank as my wife and I are planning to have kids and like to travel(Id rather break the tank down then neglect it). All items were purchased new in January 2020 or newer Minus the apex controller unit. I am located in Boise and willing to ship equipment or...
Originally I was running a kit heater (50w preset 78) in my 10g. Yesterday I upgraded to an adjustable 100w heater from aqueon (only thing I could find local). I set the temp to 80. The first few hours my thermometer read 79 and the heater was heating. Then the temp dropped to 78.8 and then...
The temperature probe from my heating controller has a strange white substance around it. The tank is still holding a steady temperature but the heater constantly switching on and off. I have taken it out of the tank for now and am using a back up. Dose anyone know what could this be or caused this
So I've had a Cobalt Neo-therm heater for my Nuvo 40, which hasn't given me any issues. However, when I read about the 200W and the horror stories, it's making me second guess opting to buy it again for the new upgrade. Does anyone have any suggestions for a reliable 200W heater for a 65 gallon...
I'm trying to decided on my heating and cooling solution for my 170g build that is currently underway. Hear is Australia, we have a season temperature swing of about 37F to 118F. So before anyone asks, both are definitely required.
My initial plans was to go with a Teco chiller that has both...

Greetings! I have a Waterbox 40 gallon AIO. I have only had it for 4 months, it is my first AIO tank, and I never had a tank with a sump. I am finding that the temperature in my display is almost a full degree lower than the temperature in the back chamber where my heater is. In fact, the...
I have a 30-gallon biocube. The hood has been removed and replaced with a custom acrylic panel that sits on top and a China Box light that is hung above it. There are two nano skimmers in the back section in compartments 1 and 2. There is a 20-watt analog heater in the third chamber with the...
My sump is pictured below (Ruby cube). There is a probe holder at the bulkhead between the overflow (back left) and the refugium (front) sections. I originally put the heater in the return area. My theory was to have the temperature probe getting water direct from the tank. But I read...
I need some advice on heaters for a new, still cycling, 24 gallon saltwater tank. Right now I have an older Eheim Jager 75w heater, but I'm not sure it will be enough for the tank for winter. You see, I previously lived in the SW United States and never had to use a heater on my saltwater tank...
Hello,
With all this buzzing about around heaters both from brs and neptune I thought I would throw my opinion into it.
This post will focus around what I believe is one of the optimal ways to heat your tank. How I sized my heater. How to program the Apex to utilize two stage heating and...
