[FONT=&quot]Other comments: I bought this for my QT tank about 6 months ago. It drives me nuts. First off the temp markings are no where close to the temp as indicated by my thermometer(I use the same type on all of my tanks). For example, right now, it is set at about 73f and the actual water temp is 79. And if I try to adjust it a bit, sometimes it changes, others it doesn't, or it will change WAY more than you want. Also, the temp will not stay rock steady like my other heaters(Marineland Deluxes and Stealths). [/FONT]
