I use plain glas heaters/thermostateDo you use a grounding probe or titanium heater in your tanks?
Also if you dont use a grounding (earthing) probe, can you measure stray voltage and amperage of your tank and post your results?
Thank you. Im taking mine out. I also had a problem with my heaters. I now heat the room with an electric fan heater to keep the aquarium at 76 f. No more internal heaters.I use plain glas heaters/thermostate
I have 8 tanks now which are on 5 seperate system. I only used a grounding pen on 1 system
Because i had issues with that system before.
Those issues were solves when removed 2 faulty heater an i installed an extra eathwire on all my wall sockets.
In have to measure the voltage and report back
I experience no problem besides the shocks i got when doing maintenance and touching the frame. Since placement of the grounding pin this was no more an issue.Thank you. Im taking mine out. I also had a problem with my heaters. I now heat the room with an electric fan heater to keep the aquarium at 76 f. No more internal heaters.
I had two Eheim 300 watt heaters. Both were new and had put voltage and amperage into the water. .03 milliamps for one and .02 milliamps for the other. Both had made 2 volts or so. Even this small amount was enough to shock me. Apparently heaters shouldnt add any voltage in the water because they are a resistive load. I never knew that.
What problems did you see from the heaters? I noticed my montipora capricornis had faded a little and some of my fish had stopped eating. Mostly the biggest fish, a rabbit fish, but im not sure those were from the electricity problem because I noticed potassium was 360 ppm.
What do you mean?Do you think this can be done without sand?
Can your method be done with no sand, or bare bottom?What do you mean?
I run a modified version which is bare bottom.Can your method be done with no sand, or bare bottom?
I am not sure, because i never tried.I run a modified version which is bare bottom.
I run a carx and dose EZ- trace. Works well.
