Hi,
I apologize if this has already been answered, but I was not able to find it searching other posts. I want to use the Apex as a heater failure failsafe only. I will let the heater turn on and off itself and use the Apex as a shutoff if the heater fails in the on position. This is my...
I have gone through 2 Inkbird heater controllers and both of them don’t give power to my heater when I use the power strip that is connected to the controller. Are they not compatible with Aqueon heaters? I have a 50w adjustable Aqueon heater but I plan on getting a BRS 100-200w titanium heater...
Installed my new Inkbird heating controller and oh how ironic.. The power strip that the controller provides was faulty and I didn’t know that until the alarm was going off at 5am. My temperature had swung from 78F to 74F in just 6 hours. Now I have a gaping anemone and corals...
Last week I installed the new Innovative Marine Helio PTC 400 Watt Aquarium Heater w/ Controller (2 x 200W). Replaced a BRS 300W heater with Inkbird controller which gave me erratic temp ranges.
This heater keeps the temps consistent at 78 degrees and uses significantly less energy. The BRS...
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...
I just set up my tank and went to turn on the heater, followed all the instructions that came with the heater and controller and set it up. I set the temp to 79 and the differential to .5 degrees. Right now it says the probe temp is 77.8. It won’t stop beeping. I’ve set the differential to be as...
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
Need your help... I have two 300w heaters in my sump. I want to keep the temp fluctuation in the tank between 77.5º and 79.5º. I'm using the Cobalt Neotherm heaters. I can set them to 78º or 80º (nothing in between). My questions are as follows:
How should I set up my P4? Should I tell it to...
Hello,
I have a couple of questions about my heaters and controllers....
1- I will be using 2 finnex 500w heaters (I have a 110g tank RR tank and 40g sump ((trigger 39”)) so I think they should be the proper size as they are rated up to 130g’s and my house is kept at normal ambient temperature...
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...
Looking for some help.
Came up with nothing from searching the internet and I am currently awaiting a response from Finnex but does anyone know if the HC-0810M controller be calibrated? Mine is displaying two degrees high (verified with four thermometers) and would like to adjust it.
Thanks!
An unfortunate sequence of events (perfect storm) led to a near disaster; I'm still assessing the damage.
I'm not sure what is going on yet, but wanted to share with the community.
In a nutshell, my Finnex titanium heater kicked on at the same time my apex eb8 stopped communicating with the...
I was going to try to make my own heater/chiller controller. I've found a bunch of all purpose temperature controllers on amazon and I was wondering if anyone has a suggestion on which brand or controller to get. Anyone which past experience have any suggestions? I was most seriously looking at...
Curious if anyone has used these before? Dual heater temp controller from Inkbird. Super cheap on amazon. do they work? any problems? they stated that the probe is salt water safe.
