Hey gang, now that we've had our first truly cold snap, keep an eye on your temps and make sure everything is alright. In the winter months, I add supplemental heaters to keep up with the cooler temp & give me some backup in case something fails. I personally use the 100W preset heaters and add them to all 3 of my systems. My frag system is in my unfinished basement and it can get pretty cold down there so I actually add 2 additional heaters: One in the sump and one in the tank itself.
Along the same lines, keep an eye on your ATO levels. Relative humidity goes down along with the temps and I use a LOT more top off in the cooler months and if you're in the habit of only filling once a week, make sure that's adequate.
