RE: [Homebrew_PCBs] aquarium heater question

2011-02-06 by Nuno T.

Hi,

If you can open it, try to set the thermostat a bit further than the outside
screw end run (it's a guess or trial-and-error adjust...). Or get ride of it
and use one of your own inside the glass tube controlled by external
electronics.

If ferric chloride, 90ºF is good enough. Not as fast as 120ºF, but WAY
FASTER than cold water temperature.
Don't know about CuCl temperature differences.
