This is a powerful heater that holds temperature very well. The temperature difference was very minor. Or better yet, conceal it to the back corner. Product was received fast, works excellent! Checked the accuracy of the heater with an infrared thermometer. I left seller feedback yesterday but have yet to hear from the seller. The controller is easy to use, very accurate and reliable.

Sunyiny Final Thoughts

"I'll see with these."

Well worth the money the first one I bought still works great. Maintains it well except when the weather is already warm then it over heats it. I tested it by unplugging and replugging it. I have it set to 81F to get a 77F water temp. This heater is NOT fully submersible. Sometimes you may have to tinker around with the dial. The heater is super thin and the reflective surface is interesting.

"Same suckers for years!"

--The heater itself is a bit shorter if your tank is a short one. Easy enough to let it run all the time. I emailed the email it says to and told them. When i installed them, i let them sit in the tanks without power for 6-24 hours. I have 3 of the Fluval heaters, in various sizes. They shipped us the upgraded version that also heats! The suction cups are large, high quality and seem to stick great.

"5 or even."

If the blue light is flashing it means the heater is not fully submersible. Well worth the money the first one I bought still works great. I use a 50 for a 5 gal and a 10 gal tank. I dont know, and havent tried just yet. I appreciate the exterior temp readout and control module. I tested it by unplugging and replugging it. I contacted the manufacturer and they sent me a new unit in less than a week!

"7L Imagitarium tank."

I use a 50 for a 5 gal and a 10 gal tank. I used to try those other cheap heaters sold on amazon. I will be ordering more of these in the future.

FREESEA Final Thoughts

"Highly recommended."

So when I first received it it didn't work and I was very disappointed. The temperature gauge is fairly accurate in my 55 gallon tank. I will definitely be buying another one for my other tanks at bigger one. I have it set to 81F to get a 77F water temp. I have had to turn the dial to about 78-79 for the tank to stay around 76 degrees. The heater is being used in a 40 gallon breeder. The bonus digital thermometer it came with has been super helpful, and is accurate.

"I like the size."

I love the heater otherwise, but I'm afraid some water has gotten inside the heater. The heater is super thin and the reflective surface is interesting. All seem to vary between 1-2 degrees of each other which doesn't concern me much. Temperature is slightly off by running a little warmer. Maintains it well except when the weather is already warm then it over heats it. Keeps the water consistent and it's easy to adjust! You program it for temperature you want your tank to be.

My fish likes to get close to it and he has never been hurt by it. This has been in my fish tank for a few months now and it's been absolutely perfect! The heater protector was very heavy plastic and slim lined which is great. Also I like how it shows both the current temperature and the set temperature. It took me a few days slowly turning the dial up to finally get it where I wanted. Was very impressed with the quality of this heater. I will be ordering more of these in the future.

I use this little heater for my 10 gallon quarantine tank. Seems to keep the temp n the tank fairly regular. You program it for temperature you want your tank to be.

"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.
