It's my first winter tending the tank (65g total water volume), and Utah gets cold.
It is 25° this morning, and last night it dropped to 65° in the house. So of course I woke up to a low temp alert on the ol' inkbird. My question is: do I need to keep my house warmer at night, or should I increase the max temp on the controller? I don't know if two 100 watt heaters in the overflow can offset a cold house. Should I drop a third heater in? I imagine that's significantly less expensive over the next four months than cranking the heat at night.
Thoughts? Experience? Advice?
