After reading multiple reviews for heaters from all different type of manufacturers, I decided to purchase this Aqueon 100watt for my BioCube32 salt water because the one I had was so inaccurate.
Let just say, some of you people writing reviews are idiots! I read where one said the unit never even turned on and yet it cooked his fish!
Let me just say, I opened the box. I placed the heater in my tank for about 30 minutes before powering it on. I took a reading in my digital thermometer and it was 80.4 which I think is too warm for my men’s and palys (Palys were starting to bleach). After I plugged it in, waited 24 hours and my reading was 77.5 degrees. It’s been a month now and it has not moved one decimal point. I check before I go to work (4am) when I come home (3pm) and when I go to bed (10pm) and it never moves. It stays perfect! Now I know it states “78 preset†but I am fine with “77.5†because the main thing is stability. My men’s are growing great and my Palys are starting to green up again.
needs to remove stupid reviews because it doesn’t help.
I for one highly recommend this heater. I’ll be buying one for my 55gal cichlid tank.
