Thank you for taking time to post a review. We are disappointed that the box's language was not clear to you. This heater has never had an app and we have never advertised that it did. The app was for tracking maintenance only and the packaging does not link it to the heater; it is the same information on all of our products. Should you need help with using the heater, please email our team.

Thank you for taking time to post a review. The red light only comes on when the heater is heating. To determine if it is heating or not, you must have an aquarium thermometer on the tank to gauge the temperature. So that we can help you, email petsupport@spectrumbrands.com.

Thank you for your comments. Heaters take approximately 12-24 hours to regulate. We recommend using a quality thermometer to gauge if the heater is working or not. So that we can help you, email petsupport@spectrumbrands.com.

Shocked

I've had my first tetra heater for 10 haply years in my 10gallons. Upgraded tank to bigger one and figured id get the same model as the first one since it wasn't up for it. I set it up and didn't stress much about the fact it took a long time to get the tank to set temp. Day 2 i Noticed it looked humid inside but google mentioned it was normal. Today my most my precious fish are dead. They basically boiled. I removed my air stone and saw the heater leaks tiny bubbles. not only the amount of money gone just like that but i watch thos fish grew and got attached to them. This sucks. 3 days. This morning everything was fine. Couple of hours is all it took to ruin years of trust in the brand. I'm done. This is outrageous

Thank you for your review Regina. We regret this heater has not met your expectations. It typically takes around 24 hours for heaters to regulate the temperature in a tank, depending on the size of the tank and the temperature when the heater is installed. The larger the tank, the more time you should allow it to regulate and raise the temperature. So that we can hopefully help you, email petsupport@spectrumbrands.com.

Exploded, Burnt Carpet

sgropp13

Woke up to the smell of burning in my room around 3:45am today, was concerned it was my new mist system for my gargoyle gecko. Then realize there’s little black specks and water all over my room, my mirror, the ceiling. Then step on something, turns out it’s burning heater parts that burned a hole in my carpet and foot. Wonderful way to wake up when I have a 7am class tomorrow. So now I unplug my two inkbird controllers for my heaters, I was only using this heater as a backup since my other one wasn’t getting up the temperature I wanted. Try to find the heater, which was in the back of a tank with built in filtration, and it isn’t there. It’s laying across the room, unplugged itself from the heater, about six inches from my head. The rest is on top of my 29 gallon next to the tank that had this heater, and whatever else is sprayed on my ceiling and bed or burning into my carpet. Absolutely ridiculous that a practically new heater exploded, I bought it two months ago but it had only been running two weeks. Was keeping the tank at 76°, fully submerged, and I cannot come up with a reason for this happening other than it being a crap product. These heaters often come back into the store I work at with complaints of them stopping heating the tank after a few weeks, but never this so far. I now get to enjoy the smell of burnt carpet and finish cleaning up the mess of the explosion before I get up at 5:30. Thanks Tetra!

Had this heater for over a heat and I woke up to it malfunctioned and overheated. My tank was over 100 degrees and my fish sadly died. Since then I’ve found over 15 reviews from various sites selling these stating the same thing has happened to them. The heater keeps malfunctioning and overheating and killing peoples fish. DO NOT BUY THIS!!!

No, I do not recommend this product.

Helpful?

Is this heater also good for Rd eared sliders? I've heard this product can overheat the tank from other who bought this product...

  1. Any aquarium heater can work for a turtle tank if sized properly and installed so the turtle cannot get access to the heater, causing damage to it.
