si_sphinx Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 I am having a problem with getting this tank up to temperature. Has anyone else had troubles with this? The heater it came with, I set it to 24deg and the next day the tank was at 31deg so got rid of that heater(tried it on another tank and over heated that too) and used a good 150w fluval from another tank(that I know works well) and set to 26deg. the next day the temp is at 18deg. So I turned the heater up to 28deg and the tank temp went up to 20deg :facepalm: now i have it set to 30deg and the tank is at 22deg :an!gry The heater is in the back compartment where it is supposed to go but it doesn't seem to be very efficient at heating the tank. Maybe there isn't enough flow past the heater with the two stock powerheads. idk. Does anyone have any ideas or experience with this tank?

F15hguy Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 probably not enough water circulation, try moving the heater to see if that improves it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
si_sphinx Posted August 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 I have moved it into the skimmer section already with no difference. I don't want it in the main part of the tank but will try it to see if it makes a change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
