I'd like to be the first to congratulate Bill on his 69th post. It's a magical # and it's gone too soon...

I also have a via titanium heater, does the trick for my daughter's nano and works in tandem with the chiller quite well.

I too have 3 of those. And after reading all the instructions you just posted,well I've pretty much broke every one of their rules. They do get extremely hot, I always forget to unplug when doing a water change and only notice when I can smell the heat. 2 of them work great and the other one is out by 8 degrees.

FWIW, I've been using one of these for more years than I can recall, and it's probably the only thing that hasn't tried to burn my house down!

Too bd fair, you really shouldn't be plugging heaters or lights onto what are typically electronic grade/low load power bars.

You find the same warnings on space heaters. Often in bold.

Thanks guys. Its running.

Albert., its a heavy duty power bar, FWTW. It will be on my Apex bar on the new tank. I have a RK2, with an 8 plug in power bar, on my 20g but only one temp probe port, which is of course in my 20g
