buckeye_man18 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 I can't determine what the recommended heater setup is for the Evo V (or a reef Spec V). Some suggest a Hydor 50w (or something that fits) in the back chamber. I've read where it is suggested to punch holes in the pump line to help circulate the heated water. Others suggest a Cobalt Neotherm in the main tank, but that is not obviously as aesthetically pleasing. Temperature readings are likely more accurate, though. Thoughts? Thank you! Link to comment
Newstead Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 The only heater I found that would keep the temp stable in a Spec V was the 50 watt Cobalt Neotherm. Since it is black and flat, it wasn't too bad placed against the black wall. Link to comment

ninjamyst Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 I use whatever fits in in the return chamber. i think it was the Hydor 50 watts. i can't stand equipment (including heater) in the display...defeats the whole point of getting an AIO to hide equipments in the back chamber.
