What is a good heater to use?

[johnnymisty]

You know you never did say what your tank temp is at what's the temp of your tank right now?

[jughead]

Stupid parents?

[jeb102385]

Didn't you just setup this tank? Maybe its a non cycled tank that's killing your fish not the temp

My temp was 78, when I woke up, it was between 71 and 70. I will look into getting some test kits, have any recommendations for some good test kits?

[mistahoo]

test kits for what?

Re: Stupid parents and the air conditioner

Maybe we all should report this thread as a violation against parents in general.

I was offended by the title and contents of OP but don't know what grounds to report it on.

The water, to test if it's cycled so I can put this idea of not cycled to rest.

I tried to keep it to myself but CRY ABOUT IT SUNNY!

you only need about 3-5 watts per gallon here in texas, and its often best to split the wattage across two heaters but most people dont bother to take that precaution. if only using one and its going into a SW tank with rocks, i would recommmend any of the unbreakable Ti types. as far as brands i mainly use eheim/ebo-jager glass types or inline hydor types.

+1 on the Titanium type heaters. Ti heaters are really accurate and not only that, they're unbreakable! City Pets has them for $40 which is stupid cheap for a Ti heater. The good name brand Ti heaters are really expensive.

Yeah i see you trying real hard to covert up your tracks

I'm sick and tired of this happening you guys, I start a thread and some one gets OFFENDED.

Api saltwater master test kit if you run a reef you'll need a api master reef kit as well but to start just the saltwater test kit about $40 or so

[Johnsbra123]

Thank you johnnymisty, what do you use to test your water?

[johnnymisty]

Api test saltwater test kit I test once a month or when I see something not right in my tank

Now you guys are just being ridiculous. Please stop wasting my time by making me come break up these unnecessary arguments.

No name-calling. It's really easy...if you don't like the thread, DON'T READ IT. If you don't like a post, DON'T RESPOND TO IT.

Let me just point something out...the job that I do during the day, that I am pulled away from to deal with all this bickering, is the one that PAYS FOR HFB. Do I have to take HFB offline so I can have a full day of work without having to clean up a thread? This has become a big problem recently and it's getting pretty frustrating.

I'm going out to look for a test, I ordered a 150 watt heater but I might exchange for a 100w. Would a 150 watt be okay or will it over heat my tank?
