Seffie I've gone away from the traditional glass tube heaterstat (due to many failures over the years) I am currently using a Rena Smartheater and I am well pleased with it.
I'll leave you to do the research on it. I use it in conjunction with an ATC300 temperature controller.

ps just been off to look at the deltec skimmer, some seem to be saying they are very noisy (vibration), my tank is in my living room so I want a skimmer which is quiet. I understand the TMC is quieter - woo hoo, more research needed

Ah but also depends on what sort of fish you are going to keep - big, dirty fish need a bigger skimmer, I think

You going to tell them about your big boy sis?

Patience Big sis I'm saving it all for my new journal, which will be starting pretty soon

Personally, I run one only Loads of people say to run two to get even heat distribution, avoid failures e.t.c, but the fact of the matter is that one of the two heaters will do almost all the work, and the other will switch on and off a lot more regularly, increasing the likelyhood of a failure... The fact is that it is impossible to get both set up accurately enough to do the same ammount of work without using a temperature controler, as the stats just aren't that good and precice. If you use a temperature controler, you are back to the issue of a single point of failure

When making the choice please remember I am a complete idiot as far as these things go so needs to be simple to set up and manage

There is a review on skimmers in this months PFK, both the Tunze and Deltec are mentioned, both appear from the mag to be very good at there job. They said the only drawback to the Tunze was the cost, that seems a good price if you can it not far from that. The Deltec MC600 is also said by them to very very good.


EDIT to put in letters at beginning that this damn wireless keyboard missed.

Personally I would never get another V2

I had 1 it died after 3 months

The shop replaced it and that died as well

I'd go for an Aqua Medic or a Deltec skimmer
