They're pretty close together now in an area of "moderate" flow, the tank is now at 79F and so is the spot that the heaters are at. Both of them have their indicator lights on. I guess the new heater just needed more flow.

That sucks christy hopefully things.are sorted out now. I was on rc the
other day a saw a bunch of peeps had heater issues too, maybe there's a bad batch out there hmmm. I'm concerned as well, i picked up an aqueon 150 for my 33, today the temp dropped from 77 to 74??? so in order to get the temp back i had to turn up the heater to 86 and it has remainned there because if i dial it back then the light goes from green to red, now im freaked that im gonna wake to see bubbles an steam!!!

Don't ever buy TOP FIN
I had two TOP FIN heaters. 200w each for my 55G tank. One of them was faulty. It over heated my tank. I lost 6 fishes and 4 expensive Australian SPS. Piece of ****!

I would think that is a small heater for that much water.
I have a 300W on 100G of water.

I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

big heaters are more prone to fail, I run four 100watt heaters in my 90g with a temp controller, if one fails I probably wouldn't know except my controller tells me the amps so I would know, if more than 1 fails then the temp might start to drop a bit but you would have time to troubleshoot, the odds of all 4 failing at the same time are pretty high.
