damn those plants look GOOD sunny, i want some lol. btw whats on the right of the fx5 strainer?

[SunnyHouTX]

Thanks Luis. That's the temp probe for the heater (Viaaqu 300W titanium heater)

[cu0ngsayz]

DUDE how do you like that heater? how accurate is the temp reading?

[SunnyHouTX]

Yeah, I like it. Next time I clean my wet/dry it's going in there. I like the remote temp controller on it.

[cu0ngsayz]

how accurate is the temp reading?

[LooksLater]

I love the plants, Sunny! They look good.

how accurate is the temp reading?

I use an IR temp gauge to read temps and adjust the dial on the heater controller accordingly. I don't trust the markings on heater dials one bit, regardless of manufacturer. But so far, the dial on the Viaaqua controller seems pretty close to what the IR gauge reads.

You're too kind Sasha. Thanks. Hope they don't die on me and that they do grow into nice healthy shrubs.

I'm also getting a nice giant hygro and wisteria Friday that I will incorporate in there.

[sunkenmetal]

I have a ton of wisteria lol
