Ira Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Hi got a heater second hand off trademe looks new no condesation etc How come the light wont work I thought the heater I disassembled once had the element in series with the light, so if the light burned out I don't think any power would get to the element. But it was one of those funny little neonlike ones. how am I going to know if it clicks on and off Who cares as long as the tank temp stays stable. it heated my tank up to 28 in a few hours... should i leave it for a while then put my hand on it when you turn the temp and down it clicks Turn it down a little bit until it clicks off then turn it a little more. Most should have a temperature gauge on the side. Useless usually for getting an exact temp, but 2 degrees lower on the side should be close enough to 2 degrees lower water temp. I dont want to fry my new fish when they come Then don't dump them in the tank if the temp isn't right. Would you send it back it was $15. No, not for something that cheap. Not worth the trouble.
