Heating Woes


During the change-over months, I have a very hard time keeping my tank at an even level. The tank can experience swings of 8-10 degrees F. I was wondering if it would be better to buy a new heater, one with a thermostat set, rather than just a warmer or cooler setting. Or, would it be best to spend the beacou money for a temp controlled unit.

Thanks,
Kris

Hello Hermit, most people here would prolly suggest Ebo Jager heaters. I can't get them around my city (I've never purchased anything over the internet). However if you have a pet supply store around, you could get 2 Visa-therm submersible heaters, and just set them both to the desired temp. This set-up keeps my tank steady within 1 degree. About 20$ each. I keep mine in the sump, out of sight, but you could always hide them behind some rock, if no sump. HTH
