This is only partly question, and mostly early morning ranting
I am most definitely having newbie issues when it comes to heating my tank.
I actually don’t know that I have ever had my tank heated properly since putting it up. I just can’t seem to keep the temperature swings in check. I have read numerous “best heater” threads, tried several suggested ones, use 3 in my tank for redundancy currently, use an inkbird controller/thermostat, a small digital thermometer, and an Apex probe.
I wake up, my temp this morning is 76.1, the temp runs 79.5 or so with lights on...... it’s all over the place. UV and pumps are probably heating my tank more than my heaters actually doing their job at this point.
Why can’t I keep my temperature stable?!?
