That's pretty nifty im not creative like that lol, usually when I look for heaters, I look for ones that have a guard but not many do, I ordered an eheim Yager as I read further and people use them horizontally all the time because they are long, the one I ordered is 17"

I replied but I don't know why it didn't post your quote. And EDIT on my response, yes you set the heater higher than the controller you're correct, you do that so the controller controls the heat not the heater, 100% correct but I had to do it backwards to keep the heater from going off as i...

@Aiken Drum No about how the inkbird works, you set the heater to +2 degrees above what you set the inkbird so you're using the inkbird thermostat to heat the tank not the heaters thermostat So example I want my tank 77° I'll set the inkbird to 77° and the heater to 78-79°... on the inkbird...

Ahh that makes sense never thought about that, I just like to hide them horizontally beyond the plants Ill just order a eheim Tru temp and figure out of when it gets here and send this hyggar back

With your eheim do you have it mounted vertical or horizontal?

The inkbird prevents a shorted out heater from frying your fish, it has its own thermostat you put in the tank , it had presets.. one for target temp one for high temp one for low temp, so Basically you set it so if your tank ever goes above what you set the high alarm for it kills the power to...

Ahh okay, I posted a thread for a heater, just gonna ask you as I need to order it before tomorrow is going to get cold here tomorrow night , do you have any recommendation for a non digital heater that I can mount horizontally like a basic heater say probably 200-250 watts , I would get eheim...

Tyvm I had every algae known to the hobby after a 13 day hospital stay where my roommate left my fluval 3.0 on 100% 24/7 and fed a half of big can of fish food in 13 days lol, my parameters when I got home were like yikes lol, my ammonia was like 2ppm nitrite was 1ppm nitrate was like 80 it...

It's been a very very very very hard road, my tank doesn't really grow plants anymore and I don't know why, I'm trying to replace my heater but can't find a good normal thermostat heater I can mount horizontal that will work with my inkbird all the heaters are digital now [emoji58], I just put 5...

Here's it now, still have a lot to do, kinda really don't want to not try anymore but I know I can get it back if I work at it

I've really never left but I haven't been posting /replying as I had a stroke in 2019 which led to my tank being absolutely destroyed, plants dead, 4' hair algae clumps, fish made it luckily ya couple more days in the hospital and they wouldn't have , gsa that still isn't gone, but I'm alive and...

I had to upgrade my heater as it was old and I didn't want no mishap, I also got an inkbird 308 as well, the issue I have is the heater I ordered is digital so when the inkbird reaches the desired temp it cuts everything on the heater off including saved presets on the heater which is a hyggar...
