Heater

I Bought the PNW/The Macro Lady starter kit! So far I’m super pleased with the shipping quality and rock/macro quality! Can’t wait to update everyone in the future!

Equipment: 50 GPH pump, 50W heater with ink bird, 5watt macro light.

I’ll soon be getting an ATO for this 4 gallon tank (in a couple days) but for now I’ll just watch the return chamber like a hawk!

Power went out last night tank dropped to 72°. Just got my tank and fridge hooked up to a generator.

I’m only worried about keeping the return pump and heater on. The lights and everything else are not a necessity. Hope the power comes back soon. All is good and no need to panic 🙂

What is everyone doing for backup power? I have a generator for when I'm here to hook up, but what is everyone doing if your not home? If I'm at work and the power goes out to get me until I get home. I was looking at the eco flow Delta 2 to run my return pump and heater. Will the Delta 2 automatically switch to battery if power goes out? My tank is only 20 gallons so it looses heat fast.

First scare last night. Ink bird shut the heater off due to it heating for 6hrs n not reaching the temp set at. It was a little cooler in the house. I'm thinking I need a second heater in my tank? Or extend the heat time from 6 to 10hrs? I keep my house pretty cool all year. Current heater is an eheim 75watt. Tank is 20 gallon. Temp did drop to 76.5. I'm raising it slowly now..

Emergency

Anyone know why my tank would randomly go up into the 80s when it usually stays consistently around 78? My heater has been unplugged since about 3pm and it’s now at 84. Did a water change today aswell. What do I do?

Where should I put my heater the middle section doesn’t fit I have filter floss in there tell me if I should take it out

Powers been flickering all day due to snow storm, if the power goes out how can I keep my tank heated?

In light of a recent post I saw where someone’s heater cooked the tank, I wanted to share some preventative measures I’ve taken and may help others.

Smart thermometer to see temp anywhere and kasa smart plugs to remote turn on/off allows me to turn this off as soon as the tank gets out of my “normal”

5 hours after the Hygger heater controller cooked my tank killing thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars

Before a Hygger heater control some how cooks the tank to 96 degrees killing every single thing in it

Guys, some help, is it ok if the temperature of the tank is 24 degrees Celsius? Whenever I turn the heater on it just goes over 30, it’s stable on 24 day and night, but still not sure if that’s ok..
