Are there any 100w heaters out there (under fifty bucks) that have a true thermostat in them where if the temp goes below a certain degree it turns on (in a way that the degrees are shown on a knob, dial, or meter of some kind)? Or do you just need to mess with them to find where your heater works best.
I bought a hydor heater and it has the degrees on the knob but I had to set it ten degrees below actual temp (two thermometers in the tank) to get it to turn off and regulate. I called the hydor company and they said that this was normal because I was on the lower end of the heater's rating. grrrr Why put temperature graduates on them if they don't mean anything???!! very misleading.
What do you think?
