April, look into marineland or another brand like it. They sell nice heaters for fairly cheap. Best thing about Marineland heaters (at least mine) is it has a lifetime warranty and it was 35 bucks for a 200 watt heater. THAT WORKS!
amesdrew: thanks! $35 is definitely worth it for it to work properly!
Tim W: thanks for the info.... I will absolutely get a new heater since like you said before, its better for the fish if the temp does not fluctuate so much. I guess I was being stubborn trying to use all my old equipment when the last time I used it was about nine years ago!
