I have a used Inkbird ITC-306A WiFi Temperature Controller with 3D printed mount for sale. It was used about 4 months before I got my aquarium controller so I no longer needed. Works perfectly. $40 for controller and mount.
Shipping available.
I recently purchased the Bayite Temp Controller BTC201, and was wondering if anyone knows how it works with a heater with a built in controller. Say I have an Oase heater and I set it to 76 and the controller to 78, does the controller overrule the heater and raise it? what about the reverse? I...

Hey everyone!
I am about to switch my heating system up for my 25 gallon tank before adding my first two clowns from QT. I have an Inkbird and two 75 watt heaters.
Question: for those of you who use dual heaters and a controller, do you use the heater thermostats to control tank temp with...
Hi All,
I have 2 Inkbird ITC-306A (on two different tanks) Both have been working fine up until a week ago when my internet modem decided to die. I have had to reset my modem to factory settings to get it to work. over the last 5 days i have been trying to reconnect them to wifi and my iPhone...
Hi folks,
I've been thinking of making a DIY STC-1000 temperature controller and I'm wondering how reliable and long-lasting they are after seeing this board: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/heater-controllers-do-fail.780033/#post-8259865
Anyone here made a DIY STC-1000 controller? How long...
Hey everyone!
I am still in the research phase in preparation for my very first tank and am a little overwhelmed with how to set up a relatively reliable heating system without spending more than $125 or so on heating.
The tank will be 25 gallons, so 100w heating requirement. In adding layers...
Hey all, I currently use a 75W cheap heater for my biocube 16. I just bought a Eheim Jager 50w not realizing my current is a 75W. My wife is giving me a temp controller for Christmas. I trust Eheim implicitly. But is it big enough?
Hi everyone!
Its getting to that very short time of year where I need to figure out a good heater for my 29 gal BioCube (I say this because I live in Florida, so not much need for one outside of maybe 3 months out of the year so I've been putting off getting one). I'm also in the market for an...
Hey guys,
I’m curious what heaters you guys use and how accurate and stable it is. Also what do you consider “stable”? +-2 degrees? Here’s my apex reading for the past week. I’d like to keep it a lot more stable than this but wondering I’m looking into too much.
Hi,
I apologize if this has already been answered, but I was not able to find it searching other posts. I want to use the Apex as a heater failure failsafe only. I will let the heater turn on and off itself and use the Apex as a shutoff if the heater fails in the on position. This is my...
I have gone through 2 Inkbird heater controllers and both of them don’t give power to my heater when I use the power strip that is connected to the controller. Are they not compatible with Aqueon heaters? I have a 50w adjustable Aqueon heater but I plan on getting a BRS 100-200w titanium heater...
Installed my new Inkbird heating controller and oh how ironic.. The power strip that the controller provides was faulty and I didn’t know that until the alarm was going off at 5am. My temperature had swung from 78F to 74F in just 6 hours. Now I have a gaping anemone and corals...
Last week I installed the new Innovative Marine Helio PTC 400 Watt Aquarium Heater w/ Controller (2 x 200W). Replaced a BRS 300W heater with Inkbird controller which gave me erratic temp ranges.
This heater keeps the temps consistent at 78 degrees and uses significantly less energy. The BRS...
Used reefer 525XL v3 roughly 6-7mo old. Broke tank down as I have a lot going on in life and would rather break the tank down then neglect it. Tank will come with stand, sump and Clarisea Fleece Roller. Sump was modified with a check valve on the return and filter socks were cut out for fleece...
I just set up my tank and went to turn on the heater, followed all the instructions that came with the heater and controller and set it up. I set the temp to 79 and the differential to .5 degrees. Right now it says the probe temp is 77.8. It won’t stop beeping. I’ve set the differential to be as...
The temperature probe from my heating controller has a strange white substance around it. The tank is still holding a steady temperature but the heater constantly switching on and off. I have taken it out of the tank for now and am using a back up. Dose anyone know what could this be or caused this
Need your help... I have two 300w heaters in my sump. I want to keep the temp fluctuation in the tank between 77.5º and 79.5º. I'm using the Cobalt Neotherm heaters. I can set them to 78º or 80º (nothing in between). My questions are as follows:
How should I set up my P4? Should I tell it to...
Hello,
I have a couple of questions about my heaters and controllers....
1- I will be using 2 finnex 500w heaters (I have a 110g tank RR tank and 40g sump ((trigger 39”)) so I think they should be the proper size as they are rated up to 130g’s and my house is kept at normal ambient temperature...
