I bought this "Ghetto heater" to tide me over till next payday for my new tank (I bought the tank 3 weeks ago, cycled it and bought the rest of the stuff this weekend). I did everything I should have, put the heater in for 15 minutes to let it adjust. Then I plugged it in and let the pilot light go on, the next thing I know I look over and the pilot light isn't on anymore. Then I put my finger on the temp adjuster and the light comes on. But no matter how much higher I turn it on the light doesn't stay on. I would like this damn thing to be ready for tomorrow can anyone help me?
 
Open trash...insert heater. All I can say is that cheap heaters fail a lot. It's well worth the extra 10-20 bucks for a good heater. Odds are, one day it'll either fry your fish or fill with water...
