Hopefully someone here can help me out. I have always had temperature problems in my tank. The temperature is usually 82 degrees when i have the window AC unit on high which makes me feel like a polar bear in my room. I have my heater set for 78 degrees and it continously goes on all day. However it is never on for more than 2 minutes at any time. Why is it doing this? Does it need to turn on to get a temp reading and then turn back off when it realizes that the tank is warmer than 78 degrees? How do these things work? It is brand new so I don't think it can be defective yet. I want to bring my tank temp down to about 77- or 78 constantly degrees so my arctica 1/10 horsepower is on the way. Can't wait to start drilling holes in the room next to mine to run tubbing everywhere. Thanks for anyones help.
