Hi I’m after some help I’ve been struggling to get my nitrate down for months it’s been reading 75 on hanna checker which is high as they go. Everything’s running correctly and other parameters are good.
Also how are people running their heaters these days? I’ve got mine on apex Neptune but the power bar keeps going off on me so when I’m waking up anything on the power bar won’t work got to keep resetting it

Is it possible to try another heater? Sound like it’s drawing too much current. A possible short.
I use heaters with a controller . That is monitored by the apex as a back up. In case the controller goes bad, the apex will turn off the heater to prevent cooking the tank.

So for now I’ve stopped using my power bank only had roller mate heaters and sump light on there.
Roller Matt is just plugged into mains now
Heaters are plugged into ketotek kt4000 heater thermostat controller just programmed it to turn on and off at temp I think you could be correct with the current issue it’s strange cause I turn it on and off and nothing happens it will come back on when it wants to
