Pet Forum / Aquaria / Marine Reef / November 2007Heater Recommendations
I think I have one heater that won't heat at all and another that is stuck on. Any recommendations on a heater? I guess it's back to walmart to pick up another cheap-o. --Kurt KurtG wrote on 11/15/2007 10:13 AM: > I think I have one heater that won't heat at all and another that is > stuck on.

Wayne Sallee Wayne@WayneSallee.com If you see condensation in a submersible heater, then it's time to stop using it, or use it as an "always on" heater.

I inherited my current heaters. Just need something to tie me over 'til a new one arrives via UPS. I ended up with a 500Watt heater with an external digital controller for $80. That should do it. --Kurt Oh, ok :-) Wayne Sallee Wayne@WayneSallee.com KurtG wrote on 11/15/2007 2:46 PM: >> And you wonder why they don't work. > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > --Kurt > I think I have one heater that won't heat at all and another that is > stuck on.

I keep an eye on my reef aquarium's temperature. The LFS said to not let it drop below 75. The LFS said the lights should be enough to maintain the temperature Mine have been maintaining 76 - 78 degrees w/o a heater. I'm sure someone will chime in if this is wrong. Jim Even if it drops down to 72 at night, that's ok. But I would not want it to go down below 72.

I plugged it back in this morning to get it back up to 80 before the MH lights took over. I'll get a new heater this evening. --Kurt > Even if it drops down to 72 at night, that's ok.

Everything I want to buy in the livestock department likes the temperature in this range. Sounds fine to me. George Patterson Worry doesn't improve the future; it just ruins the present. |
