I started my Maceration Tank a few weeks ago but its going to get [glow=blue,2,300]COLD[/glow]tommorow I bought a 2-5GAL aquirium heater to put in it my tanks basically a painted 3/4 filled 5gallon bucket . Will putting this smaller heater in the water be enough and will it effect anything. (I moded a little shield thing so the skull wont directly contact the heater.)
and yes its a fully submesable heater .

andy may have an idea,but sometimes if nothing eats it the meat and tissue will get hard and ull find it very dificult 2 get it off,but depending on which heater u got (it should say on the box wut size tank its made for) it may or may not be enuff 2 heat the water.

A 5 gallon bucket withan aquarium heater is fine for macaration, all I use is a rectangular tub from Wal Mart big enough for 3 deer heads at once with an aquarium heater in it and it works great. And weasel, how far are you from Hulbert, its about 9 or 10 miles west of Tallequah, I have a sister in law that lives up there and I have mounted a few oklahoma deer from that area for a couple nephews.

Hulbert is a 4 1/2 hr drive from here but I've heard of that area. Ya I plan to expand the maceration tanks area but for now all thats in its one large deer head so its a nice fit.

Weasel, I do mine outside here in Alaska at minus 20-40 and the heater in a bucket or a bin works just fine. I use the titanium submersible heaters so I don't have to worry about evaporation. Most of the time I keep a lid on, but some of my buckets I don't have one, so the submersible works best. Suction cup it to the side of the bucket or bin and drop the skulls in
