Having 2 heaters saved me today :/

[Seriak]

I run three heaters each capable of heating my tank so even if one dies, I will not see a significant drop.

[straightrazorguy]

I run 2 heaters; each one is capable of heating the whole tank. They are set for 78 and 77F. Temp is just too important a param...

[mark]

run 2 heaters as well and each individually would maintain the temperature

Hmm mybe I should rly consider using more than 1 heater as well. I'm just scared they don't turn off n cook everything fast

Another reason to hook them up to an Apex.

[daplatapus]

Yup, good call. I run 4, lol, all on my apex.

[jason604]

what else is apex good for i dunno if its worth for me to invest in 1 yet. my old system seems to be good for 2yrs without apex anyways.. mybe i will buy 1 for my new system if its worth it

Thats why i run 2 slightly less powerful because if one decides it wants to cook the tank it isn't strong enough by itself to cook it

again the controller

[Craigdillman]

The only reason initally I got a controller was to control heaters couldn't imagine having them just sitting there 30$ heater can cook a $ 10,000 tank and for 100$ contrôlér or 250$ for the apexs it's a no brainer
