"5 or even."I will be ordering more of these in the future. I will definitely be buying another one for my other tanks at bigger one. It does blend well in some setups and may look bulky in others. We would consider a replacement and then we would return the defective unit. Thanks for the great customer service! Pressing and holding the button for 5 seconds changes it from F to C readouts.

Fluval A756 Final Thoughts
"Until the next time."So when I first received it it didn't work and I was very disappointed. The heater is super thin and the reflective surface is interesting. Two inches above that is a waterline for maximum. I love the heater otherwise, but I'm afraid some water has gotten inside the heater. So when I first received it it didn't work and I was very disappointed. Per my thermometers, they are all staying constant. I will definitely be buying another one for my other tanks at bigger one.

"I like this heater."I noticed my old hygger heater beginning to fail and my wife ordered this one. The heater is super thin and the reflective surface is interesting. After several weeks of running the heater. Come on Fluval, expect better from you. Takes a little while to drop the temps if it is hot in the garage. We wish the controls were available in Farenheit also to make things a little easier. The heater is being used in a 40 gallon breeder.

"That wasn't a good sign."Those turned out to be a hit and miss. The heater protector was very heavy plastic and slim lined which is great. The heater is super thin and the reflective surface is interesting. The temperature lights up so it's very easy to read. You don't have to worry about wide temperature swings with this unit. Temperature is slightly off by running a little warmer. I am very happy with this purchase.
