  • As the gold starts to set in, my fish room is cooling as well. I was still short one heater for a 5 gallon guppy tank, so I ordered another Tetra HT10 submersible 50 Watt Heater. I like the simplicity of these heaters.

    I’m on my 3rd winter with mine for a 10 gallon tank and it works fine so far. Turns on and off like it’s supposed to. I just put one of those sticker thermometers on my tank and it keeps it a good temperature. I’m sure it’ll wear out at some point but I’ve got my money’s worth outta it.

      HuuuUUUmmMMMP DaaAAAAaayyy! You are right, they sure do get it done for little investment and even expensive heaters can fail. I do need to get a power shutoff for my reef tank though in case there is an issue with the one I have in there.

    • @DebTim

      haha..love the H-day! The only heater issue I've had is them dying on me and leaving my fish cold. But that's the best of two options.. die or fry..Fish are pretty tough and can take a dip in temperature better than a fish fry. =D

    Ok I’m confused. I plugged to test it and nothing happens. My family me never said that the water is warmer than the one the fish is in his old bowl. Which I believe is bc they added a new amount of water to get it in this temperature. Does it control water or do I need to turn off and when is getting cold i turn it on. I’m new to the fish world.

    I use the same heaters in my quarantine / med tanks, seem to work well. Review was nicely done. What editing software do you use / recommend? Being that you're in the industry your opinion carries some weight. Also many thanks for the sub, you are #500, big thanks for that.

    • @hooktherapy
      @hooktherapy  8 лет назад +1

      Maximus Aquatics yea for being your #500! Congrats. I have found these to be a solid little heater. Software depends on the type of computer you run. So far, I keep the edits very simple so that the process doesn't keep me from wanting to make videos....since I already spend my day doing them. 😁 I use an old MacBook and Final Cut Pro X for these. It's really fast to edit and export with it and there are a lot of great plugins to make titles and other things very easy while looking professional. I tend to use FCPX at work to because of the quick workflow, but also have Adobe Premiere. Really though, if you plan what you are shooting, you can use just about anything that gives you 2-3 video tracks to work with. Some videos I even edit with iMovie on my iPhone. I started in editing using Pinnacle software and it was limited, but got the job done. iMovie on a Mac also works well. It's really about getting the elements you need. A good audio or narration and video to cover it.

    • @maximusaquatics7835

    • @danielbarajas9264
      @danielbarajas9264 5 лет назад +1

      You should let it acclimate about 30 minutes before you turn it on so it doesn't shatter any glass. If you turn it on while its super cold it may shatter the heater.

    • @bethanyklein850
      @bethanyklein850 6 лет назад

      It depends. J run a cold house to save money in winter. Water temp is almost equal to air temp so if your air is too cold for a tetra the water is cold. I just got a heater in a tank with Barb's and tetras and danios it's running 65 in my room right now I decided it was too risky. Didn't lose anyone at that temp but use your judgement.

      It's a safety precaution. If you put a cold heater in a tank and turn it on right away...it's possible that the glass could break. Same with when you remove it. You are supposed to turn it off and let it cool before removing it.

      jahmel dixon try making a boll or cup of cold water to see if the light comes on to heat it up. It may be that your tanks is already warmer than the 74-78 it tries to maintain.

      I'm guessing that is because it may be warm enough. You should look into a thermometer to check the them. You can get a $1-2 one that sticks to the inside of the aquarium or what i use is an infared temperature gun. It was like $14, but I can use it to check the temp on a lot of things.

    Hey could someone help please? I bought a starter set for aquariums and in came a pre set heater. Its not even heating to the clamed temperature. But I alredy use the other parts of the set so I cant get it changed out. Is there a way to increase the set temperature at least a little? Mine is a little under the necessary temperature for my fish in a nano tank. They are alive and eat and all, but I still feel uncomfortable keeping them one Celsius beneath what they need. I could not find anything and I have been researching for days. I would buy another heater but it would not fit into the shape of the tank. Doas anyone have an idear how to change the temperature of a pre set heater? It's a tetra pre set 50 watt

      The heater makes 23 Celsius but the fish need 24-28. I think the problem will slove itself in summer but what can I do in the winter? I wonder if there isn't a way to change the set temperature at least a little? I know that you can hack it to be set on all the time but what if that gets to hot? Urrrg why did Tetra put a pre set heater in my set... thanks for the reply!

    • @Yommasandy
      @Yommasandy 5 лет назад

      MadGirl BitchingBoutStuffs fair enough but usually preset heaters do fine when the room temperature is actually room temperature. My room has the biggest window so it gets about 15 degrees celsius in the winter, the tank heater can’t provide enough power to keep it at where it’s supposed to be because the temperature outside the aquarium is too low. I’ve never bought a tetra heater so I’m too sure about how to hack it and such but honestly, i bought a marineland adjustable heater for about $30 canadian and it’s way too good against competition for it’s price range. It keeps my 9 gal at 27 degrees, turns off when at the right temperature and has a thermometer built-in if you have to buy a new one.

Otherwise I would have already bought a different one thats better suited. Even if you don't know how to hack these thinks I still wanna thank you for replying! It's much appreciated. Do you think that one degree Celsius too cold is a problem or that it's still in the 'not animal abuse' range? Because I honestly rather give them away then keeping them too cold.
