Aquarium Advice Regular
Hi to everyone reading and potentially helping me out.
I've recently purchased Ehiem Jager 100w heater for a 90L, 23us gal aquarium. I am just wondering if anyone has the same experience as me or an answer to what's going on.
So I installed the heater yesterday to the filled aquarium with 26C water, the heater is set to 26C also so let it sit for an hour then plugged it in. It powered up straight away stayed on for 1 minute then turned off, great. Checked it periodically through the evening and it seemed fine however when I came down this morning the temperature was 25.2c and the heater was off. Then I noticed it had turned on, 25 minutes later it was still on and the water was 25.5C.
Looked like the heater was trying to get back up to 26C but why would let the water drop that low in the first place??
Anyone have a similar experience or know what to do. Bare in mind it's a brand new heater fresh out the box.
Thanks in advance!
