Okay, so my Hagen Tronic heater crapped out the other day on my 55 so I took the plunge and bought a Visitherm Stealth. I love it and it is keeping the 55 a nice toasty 79 degrees, but my question is.....since the Stealth doesn't have a red light, do y'all just keep an eye on the thermometer in the tank to make sure it's still working or what?
How I noticed the Hagen heater wasn't working initially was the fact that the red light wasn't coming on as often as it had been. I had the 55 thermometer in another tank. I stuck my finger in the tank and WOW was it cool. 8O I went and got the thermometer out of my 29 and the temp had fallen from 80 to about around 72-73. 8O 8O So, I bought a new thermometer for the 55 and the Stealth and slowly corrected back up to 79.
Anyway, do y'all just watch the therm. to judge if the Stealth is working??
