Help! BORROW HEATER!?

[BaaMNYC]

I just got home from work and found my tank 72 degrees from the usual 79.

Does anyone have a heater I can borrow?! OR BUY?

Has anyone heard of a jbj titanium heater. Crapping out after only 2 years? I have it on my rkl. Not the controller it came with.

RB sent..is this for the 46 G tank?

72 is not too bad, your tank will likely be fine but yeah, a heater wont hurt.

I'm on my phone. Can't see rb. It's a 110 tall with 40 gallon sump.

Just saw the reviews. Jbj heater was one of my first purchases. Didn't realize it was crap from brs reviews. Spent a pretty penny

Jbj t3-800

Just sent a PM. Can you see those on your phone?

That was is a new 75W.
If you are really desperate, I can pull the 150W Ebo out of my mixing bucket, but you'd have to pick either up

[BaaMNYC]

Teds heater had a little water in it and I thought I saw sparks it. I didn't use it.

 

[kidninja]

rofl... yea that would be a good idea...

 

[BaaMNYC]

I just hope one 200w heater can maintain the temperature

Really? It's not too late?

I know its a little late for this advise and its not directed at you ,but buying a 25 dollar heater as a spare is a must in this hobby. Even if it sits in a box for 3 years its still something you will never have to worry about. Your tank should be fine,72 is not that bad. GL

Yea I told him natural reefs are not 78-80 degrees lol I hooked him up w/ a 200watter for peace of mind though he's good now.

Thanks it is a good tip. I just don't know how quickly it went from 79 to 72. My purple nana is 1/3 white. There maybe some die off there.

I had a spare 200w but I just set up a frag tank and put it on there and never bought another spare.

Lesson is: don't have one big heater. Better to have two smaller heaters on a rkl or similar so if one breaks you have the other to hold the temp. And the rkl will cut power of the built in temp regulator breaks.
