And no matter what the box says it is 100% submersible. Don't pull the knob before adjusting the jagers to the temp you prefer the knob is for calibration. I made this mistake and had to re-calibrate 2 heaters but it was easy.

has anybody had a heater that was NOT reliable? any heater I ever used wether it be a walmart special or well known brand has worked well for me. Matter of fact since about 95' I've only added heaters, never had one that needed replacing.

The one I just replaced was only 5 months old. Whatever came with the 55k from Petsmart.
