I think using a single heater that's too small will cause it to run too hard. It might end up frying or lasting not very long. :huh: Just my thoughts.fballguy said:

I run 2 heaters on my tank in the event that one fails, there is always the backup and plus, with 2, you are assured neither is working too hard. Both are high enough to sustain the tank if only one were to work.
Ebo-Jaeger heaters were it back in the day... as they are getting harder to find (online only in my area), I may have to check out the stealth...
Ditch that heater before it boils everything. Heaters sometimes have a tendancy to get stuck in the "on" position and then there really is no way to fix them. You just have to get another heater. BTW that brand of heater is not the most reliable. The stealth heaters should work out for you a lot better.
