The heat cords are supposed to go outside the tat like heat mats. I've got one on the back of my 4ft tank full time and I've added another on the front for winter. This is the first winter I've had this big tank and I didn't get a high enough wattage cord initially. Will need to re arrange and put a thermostat on in summer.aussieJJDude wrote:I wouldn't go with heat cords. The reason why i had smoke in my tank one time was due to a very diligent crab getting through a protective coat of a power cord for my salt water pool. Lets just say everything with cord get wrapped with airline tubing! (If one designs a tank in a way that one cant get to the heating cord, then it could work.
Spring water or distilled water is fine, ill just dechlorinate it just in case as many companies add chlorine for a longer shelf life, or just in case they decide to add in chemicals in time. Better safe rather than sorry.
