This probably sounds like a couple of really dumb questions, but here goes anyway....
I like the idea of using an aquarium heater to keep the FV at the correct temperature as used by some posters on here, so I have just bought a cheap one off e-bay. I plan to put the FV in a plastic tub/crate filled with water & heat the water.
1. Do you submerge the whole of the heater including part of the cable, or leave the cable and say 1cm of the heater above the water line?
2. I have tried the heater out in a bucket and set it at 20c, I'm not sure what 20c should feel like, but the water doesn't feel much above ordinary cold tap water, is this ok?
thanks :
