Great topic yall love it!

TY, mine just stopped working and the Inkbird let me know.

Thank you for not flooding me with too much information or explaining in detail some experience you’ve had in a certain situation. Just know what water temp the fish you want can thrive or survive in is great advice for me. Also the breeding based on temp was good to know. Thanks!

Inkbird for the win complete gamechanger !

Great Info Guys! This winter I heated my entire basement but I think next year I'll try to heat the tanks individually to see which is more cost effective option

Great topic honestly just showing off cool things you use in your tanks or things you considered would be cool to see everyone wants a second opinion before they buy.

It’s always fun to see your impressive tanks and how the fish are growing. The heater information was very helpful. I wish I could do a better job at hiding mine. They tend to float around here and there.

Great information guys. Very informative. Thanks. TEAM TROY!

Thanks for watching, Sandy!

Sehr schöne und ausführliche Erklärung der Heizung im Aquarium! 👍

Great information guys!!

Awesome video

I have a in line heater seems to be working great atm.

Yes I heat all my tanks

I just put up a new tank (60g cube) with my first sump. The heater I had on hand is maintaining the temp, but not really raising the temp. So I ordered a new sicce scuba. I’ll get one of those inkbird controllers soon too. 😊

Very nice!

Some good points you both bring up, thank you. My 600g acrylic tank with 1” panels is in my garage and have no issue keeping my temps between 76.5-78 degrees. I use my Apex to control my heaters with no problems.

is 82 too hot for severums? Ive had my 125 gallon at that temp and they are doing extremely well. 3 300wat heaters

From Singapore. The temp avr here is 28 to 34. Which heater is good - Fluval or Eheim to keep the temp constant at 27degree celsius?

I would recommend Sicce or Fluval

Day two of asking to do a mbuna breeding tank

I've been trying to figure out how to fit a 125 gal in my room and it would be my last tank. I live in a very small house and have small tanks except for the two 55's, and seem small now. I'm new to this hobby and my electric bill has doubled the past month. The wife isn't happy. Will the mbuna suffer if I turn down the heater to 70? Maybe I should wrap the tanks with insulation during the winter, except for the front of course. Anybody ever try that?

Next month I’m planning on getting an 80 gallon tank (115 total gallons w/ sump). I’d like to hide the heaters in the sump, so I will need 2 small high watt heaters. I’m considering a 150 watt and a 200 watt Aqueon Preset Heater. According to the manufacturer the 150 watt heats 30-55 gallons, and the 200 watt heats 50-75 gallons. I am also considering 2 AquaMiracle Super Short 300 watt heaters. The company says they heat between 40-60 gallons. I question whether this information is correct since the 300 watt heaters don’t heat as many gallons as the other brand, which has a lower wattage. Is it because they are smaller, and there is less surface area for the heaters to warm the water?

Two heater what. I been heating my 180 with one heater I never used two. I checked my tanks after day so need for two I you check your tanks everyday

If that works for you, great. We'd still recommend two so that you have redundancy and not relying on one heater.

​​@@CichlidBrosYeah I'd agree, great topic thought I was only one who thought like this, glad to see I'm not. I definitely believe anything bigger than 40 gallons needs at least two or more heaters specifically for colder places
