As some may know I've had 2 devastating insidents with stealth, and won brother heaters. The won brothers' boiled my fish back in 2003, and this past spring my stealth broke, and poisend my most of my fish.
I vowed not to use heaters anymore, but I like my house on the chilly side.
I don't like heat.:tongue1: I keep my home around 67 to 68. With this in mind I decided that it was unrealistic to run my tanks without the heaters since my summer temps hover around 84.
I bought 2 EBO Jager heaters since I've always heard how GREAT they are. They sat in their boxes until a week or 2 ago when I finally installed them.
Now here is the thing that has me confused. I set them at 77, but they are constantly coming on, and setting off my fans. This morning I decided to check something in my tank, and the water felt warm so I looked at the cheap thermometer on the side of my tank. It read 81 degrees. I thought to myself this had to be wrong so I checked the temp with my ph/temp meter which read the ambient air temp by the tank to be 67, and it also read 80. Now I had turned them both down to 75, and they are still quicking on.
What the heck is going on?:irked:
