    The tank temp dropped 2 degrees. I increased iInkbird to 80 and heaters to 82. Temp won't go over 78. I believe the heaters are 200w, stand alone one in sump and DT hooked to Inkbird. Are my heaters under sized since only one is actually on?

    I didn't realize it was plugged into it, missed when rearranging plugs during prior power outage. It's plugged into a power strip with breaker. But yeah an Apex might of helped but this was just me being stupid. I tried to make things easier but screws up big time.

    So discovered the power backup had the inkbird plugged in besides return and power head. Inkbird plugged else where now. Also found out power backup was plugged in but not on, resolved. Inkbird kept alarming took me awhile, sad to admit, realized the sensor suction cup gave way and it was...

    Tank appreciation

    Yes, need to appreciate the beauty but also check for potential problems. Because of this thread looked at the tank and noticed diatoms. Strange as nothing changed. Then realized one power head wasn't working. I assume the power outage is the culprit. Pulled it and soaking in vinegar bath for...

    Circulation during power outage

    Was wondering if this would work per Chris suggestion. My concern is flow being fast or slow and cause a small flood.
