so I don’t run 2 heaters to make sure each side is “just the right temperature”, I do it, because of the high failure rates of modern heaters… and i like the units that display the tank temperature, and I put the controllers in obvious spots, as I find reading the digital displays, easier than most thermometers… this one is especially important, as these tanks are in an unheated entry way into the house, and they are responsible for providing heat in that room…

in my whole hobby history, I did have on heater fail in the on mode ( decades ago ) all the newer ones seem to have safe guards, on the high side… this one failed on the high side, but the safe guard turned it off, and sounded an alarm… I came home to the beeping aquarium…
