So my heater has failed me for the second time - i dont remember what heater it is (threw away the box and the heater doesnt have the brand on it), but it was recommended to me by my lfs.
The first time it failed me, i opened up my sump and the water was at 63 degrees farenheit and the heater wasnt heating. I put it in a 5 gallon bucket to test it and it didnt heat it at all. I tried lots of other things, but i was getting worried for my fish and coral's lives so i just bought the same heater again.
Second time - a few days ago - this same heater did the same thing. It just wont heat anything. Each time this happens its still turned on - the controller is blinking and all that, and no it isnt disconnected or exposed out of the water for it to burn.
I am getting sick and tired of this stupid heater. I already spent $160 total on both of these, and each time its just a waste of money.
Instead of spending another $80 on the same heater, I want to find a replacement, new heater.
I have a budget of $100, preferably less than $75, but honestly ill take pretty much anything so i dont have to pay any more when it breaks.
My tank is a 80 gallon (including sump volume).
Thank you guys. Id prefer a heater i can buy directly on amazon (parents are too busy to drive me to the lfs for a heater, and brs or whatever will have long shipping times as they have had in the past). Amazon would be best because obviously i need this heater asap or my fish will die. They are already acting strangely and tired. Ive lost a snail or two as well.
