I live in Michigan and temps have started to drop. Last night it went into the high 30's, today is mid 60's.
My DT (233g) and Sump (60g?) are in the basement which is a walkout. The sump is located near the basement floor which is cement, however, I placed 1/2" wood planks under the long edges of the sump so air could travel under the sump vs resting directly on the floor. The DT is on a stand ~4ft off the ground.
My heater is new (bought on 7/23) and is a 300W Eheim JAGER. I watched my heater wattage/amps today when I noticed the temp had dropped suddenly and about 2* over the past few days. Nothing was out of the ordinary but I do notice that the heater is running non-stop and the temp finally bottomed out around 76.8. It hasn't been able to bring the temp higher than 76.8* today.
Apex programming on the heater outlet:
Is it just under-powered and I should add a second? (besides the obvious reason of having a second heater)
Note, I verified the temp with two other thermometers, one being on my Sicce SDC return pump.

Code:
Fallback OFF
If Tmp < 78.0 Then ON
If Tmp > 79.0 Then OFF
