Hi, I’ve just gotten an inkbird, and I’ve set it up with my heate. How do I set it up? And why is my temperature raising from what the bottom number (77°f) says? Currently my tank is at 78.4°f

Throw the instruction book out and look up the YouTube video and follow the video. It’s much easier following the video, you’ll have it done in 30 seconds.

Thanks. So I’ve now done that, I’m still unclear on a couple things. I shouldn’t need to calibrate it? And why is my tank not cooling down? It’s been a couple hours and it’s stayed at 78.4°f.

what are you using to cool it down?
and 78.4 is not bad at all....and IMO always calibrate....
Yeah, I’m fine with it being 78.4, I was just curious. And, how do you calibrate, I know how to get to the place to calibrate. But, how do you know if you need to?

Step one for almost anything is to google it. There’s going to be videos or old threads.

Google will give you an answer instantly instead of waiting for someone here?

As for your current cool down problem I have a fan from Amazon which turns on when the tank hits 79.

I tried googling, and nothing popped up for my problem. My inkbird won’t connect to my phone, and the light that supposed to be blinking isn’t. Also, my tank gas increased in temperature again, another 0.4°f, even though I have it set to 77°f. What do I do?
