"Overall happy."

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.

"5 gallon tank."

The red light means it's off, blue light means the temperature is constant. But my guys don't read them and don't listen! --The heater itself is a bit shorter if your tank is a short one. 210 gallon ones and one 90 gallon bow front tank. This this is amazing and is worth the money. I tested it by unplugging and replugging it. I had a thermometer on opposite side of tank and the heater was dead on true.

"Long heater."

It took me only two tries to get it to the correct temperature. Once attached to the tank wall I've had no issues with it coming off. You program it for temperature you want your tank to be. The heater protector was very heavy plastic and slim lined which is great. I adjusted the set temperature a little lower to be more in the range I wanted. But I am single and don't have to worry about this. It is a bonus that the heater is titanium.

"The seller was wonderful."

This does a great job at regulating the temp in my 10 gallon. There is no protection from it banging on the glass tank. Pressing and holding the button for 5 seconds changes it from F to C readouts. Temperature is slightly off by running a little warmer. I'm not a big fan of the big glass tubes. I wouldn't buy any other heater, unless one of these stops working. My marina heater takes a few hours.

"No copper lines!"

I will definitely be buying another one for my other tanks at bigger one. The red light means it's off, blue light means the temperature is constant. The suction cups are large, high quality and seem to stick great. The line is there due to regulations in certain countries. I love the heater otherwise, but I'm afraid some water has gotten inside the heater. --The cylinder or rod diameter is bigger. I used to try those other cheap heaters sold on amazon.

"Yes, you read that right."

I was worried about the quality but I am thoroughly impressed with this heater! I will definitely be buying another one for my other tanks at bigger one. We received the chiller promptly and put it into use. 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. I waited a little bit to write the review so it could be accurate. The temperature lights up so it's very easy to read.

"I would buy again."

This has the best controller that I have found on the market. 210 gallon ones and one 90 gallon bow front tank. The heater is easy; turn the dial to set temp and plug in. The heater is being used in a 40 gallon breeder. This heater works, but the dial it isn't very accurate. It's only been set up for a month we'll see how well it does in a few months. This product came in the nick of time!

Now, both points are clear on the package instructions. We would consider a replacement and then we would return the defective unit. My fish likes to get close to it and he has never been hurt by it. 210 gallon ones and one 90 gallon bow front tank. I'm in the process of setting up for tanks. It is safe and dependable and comes with a one year warranty. It's pretty noticeable, but I don't really care.

"Looks as advertised."

So far I like it setup was super easy. This is only day one though, so I shall keep an eye one it. The temperatures are pretty accurate. When i installed them, i let them sit in the tanks without power for 6-24 hours. Very easy to install and the adjustable temperature gauge is pretty accurate. The temperature difference was very minor. Seems to keep the temp n the tank fairly regular.

"That wasn't a good sign."

We wish the controls were available in Farenheit also to make things a little easier. After several weeks of running the heater. Come on Fluval, expect better from you. It just cycles through to 93f and starts over. I adjusted the set temperature a little lower to be more in the range I wanted. I appreciate the exterior temp readout and control module. Just be careful and keep an eye on your temp settings when you have kids over!

The line is there due to regulations in certain countries. I left seller feedback yesterday but have yet to hear from the seller. Easy to read the temp and know exactly how warm the water is. It's only been set up for a month we'll see how well it does in a few months. Those turned out to be a hit and miss. I tested it by unplugging and replugging it. I dont know, and havent tried just yet.

"One word of caution."

You don't have to worry about wide temperature swings with this unit. I have a few of these and I use them in my 55 gallons tanks and a 29 gallon tank. But I am single and don't have to worry about this. It is a bonus that the heater is titanium. I have 3 of the Fluval heaters, in various sizes. This heater is NOT fully submersible. I would definitely recommend this product.
