I actually run 2 heaters, neither big enough to cook the tank should one stick on. If both stick on, it's a sign I should find a new hobby -lol

Ya, my temp probe failed a couple months after I bought it. Actually increased the temp. If I had not been home.......GONZO. So I cant argue that point with you.

Problem with my stupid Ebo,s is trying to hold a constant temp. Sometime they dont come on when temp is well below setting and then they sometimes dont shut off when its above the setting. This is on all three of mine, which are all pretty new.

I also once bought a fancy smanchy titanium heater , controller and all. Geez, that worked well, for a year. LOL.

IF THEY WOULD SELL US SOMETHING THAT WORKED CORRECT, perhaps we would not need controllers.


All that being said, my RK2 is kind of wasting its talents on my nano, and if I could find a good heater, I would likely sell it.

That's odd Doug. I have a Ti heater, and some glass thingy, both been working perfectly for about 4 or 5 years now.

I got a Ti heater and a Aquamedic temp controller. and if the power blips, It sometimes sets itself fro 294C Allready cooked my Cleaner shrimp, frogspawn, Hammer, and a couple others. I have to constantly watch it. It bugs the heck out of me
