TLDR - where do you stick your thermostat probe? Display tank, sump, or back chamber? (Which chamber if the back?) and why?
Hello,
I have been reading through some threads and found that many people put their thermostat probes in the actual display tank instead of the sump or rear compartment. I was wondering, where is the best place to put the probe? And why?
(I currently have the probe in my display tank by a power head because I kept getting low flow alerts when I would go into feed mode. I also noticed the schematic showed to have one heater in each second chamber in the back, and then add the probe to one of them AFTER the heater. I have not had a truly accurate reading putting it next to the heater itself - so why not solve two problems and just stick it in the front?)
