"There was only~0."

No biggie, but annoying nonetheless. My heater is fully submerged underwater and works perfectly fine. The controller is easy to use, very accurate and reliable. I have had to turn the dial to about 78-79 for the tank to stay around 76 degrees. Easy enough to let it run all the time. I waited a little bit to write the review so it could be accurate.

"I like the size."

Once I opened the box i noticed the quality of the construction. The red light means it's off, blue light means the temperature is constant. My fish likes to get close to it and he has never been hurt by it. My fish likes to get close to it and he has never been hurt by it. They shipped us the upgraded version that also heats!

"I would call that a win."

It took me a few days slowly turning the dial up to finally get it where I wanted. I have it set to 81F to get a 77F water temp. Checked the accuracy of the heater with an infrared thermometer. You program it for temperature you want your tank to be. Temperature is slightly off by running a little warmer. The heater is easy; turn the dial to set temp and plug in. The suction cups are large, high quality and seem to stick great.

"Until the next time."

Once I opened the box i noticed the quality of the construction. I got this heater for my 55 gallon aquarium. Very easy to install and the adjustable temperature gauge is pretty accurate. You don't have to worry about wide temperature swings with this unit. Awesome chiller, perfect for Hydroponics. I emailed the email it says to and told them. This heater warmed it right up and now my Betta and guppies are more active.

"5 gallon tank."

210 gallon ones and one 90 gallon bow front tank. Takes a little while to drop the temps if it is hot in the garage. It took me only two tries to get it to the correct temperature. If the water runs low or air gets in the heater shuts off. We would consider a replacement and then we would return the defective unit. I like to keep it at 72 and from my thermometer it is reading at exactly 72. It is a bonus that the heater is titanium.

4. Eheim Thermocontrol e100 Heater

Eheim AEH3634090 First Impressions

"The seller was wonderful."

So when I first received it it didn't work and I was very disappointed. Was very impressed with the quality of this heater. The red light means it's off, blue light means the temperature is constant. Temperature is slightly off by running a little warmer. I have 3 of the Fluval heaters, in various sizes. I wouldn't buy any other heater, unless one of these stops working. For Discus you need warm and accurate heater and this seems to do the trick.

  • Eheim Thermocontrol e100 Heater
  • With the EHEIM thermocontrol-e heating element your fish get the right temperature even more precisely - in every aquarium. The EHEIM thermocontrol aquarium control heater is a further development of the legendary heating element and thermocontrol-e is the latest electronically controlled variant. The obvious ideas are often the best. This also applies to the aquarium heating element. It is simply hung in the water and heats it up. The principle is the same as it was decades ago. But in the meantime the EHEIM controller heater has become an ultra-modern thermal device. The temperature can be set precisely from 68°F to 89°F. It is measured even more precisely and kept more constant by the electronics with a control accuracy of 0. 5 °C. The heat is kept constant with an LED that indicates the heating function. The coating on the heater is made of special laboratory glass that increases the heating surface, serves as a heat shield and ensures even heat emission. There are no cracks and hairline cracks through which condensation water could pass. It is impact resistant. And even extreme temperature fluctuations, such as those that may occur during water changes, do not affect this glass. The heater is absolutely waterproof, can be fully immersed, has a dry run protection (Thermo Safety Control) and is suitable for fresh and marine water.

"The FreeSea is amazing."

I confirm it with my cooking digital probe thermometer. Just be careful and keep an eye on your temp settings when you have kids over! It took me only two tries to get it to the correct temperature. This has been in my fish tank for a few months now and it's been absolutely perfect! Very easy to install and the adjustable temperature gauge is pretty accurate. I think it works well to not stand out like other heaters. I got a hold of Amazon, who put me in touch with the seller.

"9 degrees."

Would be great to be able to tune that to. But I am single and don't have to worry about this. --The heater itself is a bit shorter if your tank is a short one. I recieved this product without the instructions or the added thermometer. I have had to turn the dial to about 78-79 for the tank to stay around 76 degrees. Keeps the temperature within 1 degree of what you set it to at all times. I like the fact that it comes with a digital thermometer.

The temperatures are pretty accurate. The suction cups are large, high quality and seem to stick great. This is only day one though, so I shall keep an eye one it. It would stick out of my 30 g wide tank if I were to put it vertical. I got this heater for my 55 gallon aquarium. Well I bought a second one took me only one trying to get the right temperature.

"Peace out."

I would definitely recommend this product. The temperatures are pretty accurate. If the blue light is flashing it means the heater is not fully submersible. Sometimes it gets outside of it's ability to cool but only within a few degrees. I got the 200W variant for my 54 gallon corner tank that's housing goldfish. I dont know, and havent tried just yet. It does blend well in some setups and may look bulky in others.
