My Heaters have been stuck on

[that0neguy1126]

So I just found out that I accidentally triggered my Heater outlet on my Apex to be "ON" instead of "AUTO". This changed happened back on 4/4. I just realized my tank has been at 85 degree's for almost 3 weeks. I am surprised nothing has died, no signs of stress, no signs of anything wrong (except me, for not paying attention to my controller).

I am slowly bringing the temp back to the 78-79 degree range I normally keep it at.

This explains why I had been evaporating a lot of water recently also.

Yea. I thought the 3 heaters in my tank were tuned a little better. They each have an individual thermometer (which we all know are not very accurate). So I turned them down, so if they do get stuck on again, should only have the tank around 80.

Luckily it did not bring the tank up over 90.

When I used to run my tank at 82-83 growth was noticeably increased.

Power usage. Sump is in a 65 degree basement. Amazing how much more juice it takes to hit 83 than 79-90
