Aquarium Temperature Controllers - A Fish Keeper MUST HAVE

[@jsiqueblue4948]

About 4 years ago my heater failed and overheated my fish and they died I was devastated it's taken me this long to start over again and I just bought the ink bird Wi-Fi but I didn't know how to use it so thank you so much for the explanation

Love them! We have 5 of them. I have had a temp probe fail on me. The good news is you can replace just the probe. I did it and it worked great!

Good to know!

I learned the horribly hard way! Last week I lost 30 fish in a 55 gallon tank due to a digital Chinese heater shorting out, cooked my fish😢. I replaced the heater with a Fluval and added a 306a controller. I hope no one else has to go through that loss!

Definitely a must have I have 15 of them. But just make sure you make sure it’s calibrated. I noticed my discus acting weird put my hand in the water and it was at 95 when the InkBird say 83. Calibrated it’s and back to normal.

[@FishyMike88]

Luckily discus took it! Deffintly agree with the 3 degrees heater difference!

[@garysfishroomtx]

How do you calibrate them? Ty.

Picked up some azoo controllers from Chris with these 173s. Its way overdue. Ive been replacing heaters every year, the fluval e series and theyre not cheap but im scared theyre gonna run full bore one day and im not gonna catch it or vice versa. The azoo's dont have wifi/bluetooth but theyre bullet proof. They dont use Fahrenheit though only Celsius but thats no big deal. Enjoy your videos youre doing a great job

[@FoisyAquatics]

My L173 from Chris are also protected by these haha!

[@nicholasmartinez8204]

Do you use an inkbird for each of your heaters in all 9 tanks? Or do you have it seperated somehow?

[@Bumpa1962]

Some are wifi.. Costs more.. But is it needed ? No. Unless youre a breeder or store and are there.. Unlike my BBQ.. I need to know NOW

[@trirajsubba3586]

is the alarm app iOS compatible or does it work on android devices as well?

[@FoisyAquatics]

I only have an iPhone so I can't confirm regarding Android

👍👍👍👍👍

Does this controller pair with 5G wifi? I returned a different Inkbird model that would only pair using 2.4 G wifi.

[@Bumpa1962]

Most iOt are 2.4

[@Bumpa1962]

You dont pair on wifi.. pair on Bluetooth.

[@Bumpa1962]

Oh... google it ffs

My 306T wifi rocks. Its insurance.
