Hi everyone,
We just started the cycle on our 60 g breeder. We have a Fiji sump in the bottom and put 2 Sicce Scuba 100W heaters in it. I can't see to get the water to go up in temperature- it's been sitting at or around 72 degrees for the last few days. The heaters were set at 76 degrees when we first put water in on Sunday. We bumped it up to 80 degrees 2 days ago and this morning we put it at 86 degrees but the temperature keeps going down. The cycling seems to be working fine. Ambient temperature in the house is about 68 degrees.
Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to set the heaters higher in temperature?
