Hey guys,

I have a heater question.

I'm on my second heater on my 55g. This one is starting to do exactly what the first one did.

I have the dial set to about 72 degrees. My tank was at 84 this morning and the heater was still on. I can thump it with my finger and it turns off, but then it turns back on again. It hasn't been dropped or damaged, but the only thing I can think of is that it has something to do with the salt (never had this problem with my freshwater tanks).

Any thoughts? I have bought 2 heaters @ $30-40 for 200watters (LFS) and i don't know what the deal is.

Thanks!

What kind of heaters are they.? mine varies about 1/2 of a degree...under stable room temps...:)
 
It's the 200w version of this one:

The last one was a different brand.

I'm kind of at a loss, really. It sucks to see the temp fluctuate so much, and be about 6 degrees above where i want it and still have the power on.
 
Iam not sure what kind of heaters those are, you may want to invest in a heater with provine reliability,,IMO you only need one heater...:)
 
Well, that's an AGA heater, which is usually a trustworthy brand.

What brand do you use?

This is really annoying. I unplugged the heater this morning. I don't like that feeling. :(
