So, does anyone else NOT run a heater?

[willbratz]

Am I the only one that does not run a heater? Now, I live in Florida and that may have something to do with it.

Me


Nah, just kidding. I live in Canada and I doubt my heater ever shuts off. Brrrr

 

[willbratz]

LoL thanks Ingy. I guess salt water tanks know, no boundaries

 

[Convict2161]

Heater has been unplugged all summer

76-78 degrees

 

[manbeast]

no need to unplug them if it's warm enough they just won't kick on by themselves, I would hate to have am issue when the cold comes just because I forgot to plug them back in.

Palm Springs here. Have only had my tank over summer (with chiller) , but can't see needing one in winter.

SoCal..heater is off.

 

[willbratz]

Yeah I've had my marine tank for two years and my freshwater one for over four and I've never used a heater. I guess that's the way it goes in tampa florida

 

[crister13]

I live in nj and it snows in the winter. No heater. House stays at 73 ish and 4 powerheads 3 pumps and 8bulb t5 do the trick.

My heater rarely kicks on, but I do live in Florida. If it holds a consistent temp from the lights and pump, I don't foresee that being a problem, but I still suggest having one JUST INCASE!

Haha you mean with AC and heating...for a moment I thought you meant outside.

I was real confused

 

[Shara123]

Nope. I'm in Central PA and have had my AC running at 70 all summer, yet my tank has stayed around 74 without the heater.

 

[JerseyGirl1385]

I live in Jersey and I have a heater- all year round bc the temp in my apartment fluctuates.

I like it chilly in my house to sleep at night and my tank can dip to 68 and if I turn the AC off during the day, temps in my tank can climb in excess of 80.
So I leave the heater in to maintain consistency in my tank and a rotating fan during the day on days like today where it's going to be 80.
