I have just got my tank running. I had the heater dial set to 79 but my water temp is between 82 and 84?? Is the dial on the heater accurate or should I dial it down and ignore the markings on the heater and just watch the temp? btw I'm using the sticker thermometer on the outside of the tank.
Is it possible the heater is defective?
Also, how high should the water be? I have it right up touching the output drain on my penguin 200 filter, is this too high? It reduces noise thats why I have it so high. It's still below the black top of the tank.
Thanks
