AdamS Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 The continuous heating alarm on my INKBIRD saved my tanks tonight. Where I’m at in the fall the day time temp is warm enough to have the windows open (mid 70s to low 80s), but at night it gets pretty cool (mid 40s to low 50s), right now anyways. Today I opened the window near my tanks during the day and forgot about it. Tonight I got woken up to my INKBIRD alarm, the heater had been on for 6 hours. Normally, this tank heats up in 2 hours as it increases the temp by 3 degrees. This is a single 100 watt heater in a 20 gallon. The temperature in the room had dropped to 62 and the heater was struggling to hit 84. The INKBIRD just paid for itself by saving the fish. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retrophyllum_minus Posted Thursday at 06:13 PM Share Posted Thursday at 06:13 PM Nice, that's good. I just got 2 inkbird systems I will be installing in the coming days and another I need to order. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knee Posted Thursday at 06:24 PM Share Posted Thursday at 06:24 PM I was using the finnex temp controllers before but switched to inkbird cause it was a bit cheaper. Glad to see that it saved your fish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tank was at 82 degrees, the graph showed it had been at that temp for the last 4 hours. So the heater was just maintaining instead of increasing the temp.
