First tank scare woke up to 82.5F

I love that DIY heater rack

Thanks. The idea is to keep the thermostats out if the water. Seals can and do fail in time. Water intrusion can cause a heater to fail or even crack/explode. I hate suction cups and came up with this solution.

I use this.

The heater(s) gets plugged into the 'Heating' outlet and a small box fan that blows across the top of the sump gets plugged into the 'Cooling' outlet. It does a fantastic job of keeping the tank temp controlled.

Can you recommend a fan?

I'll post them when I get home. Up early with the pup, drinking some coffee and getting ready for work.

Thanks. Did you calibrate your Inkbird (.6 value) by putting it in an ice bath to get to 0 C and then convert to F or use a reliable/valid thermometer? Thanks
