So I woke up the other day and heard the alarm on my heater controller beeping and make a weird clicking nose. The controller was jumping to high setup to another random temperature and back like it was shorting. My setup was a finnex 800w titanium heater with a finnex controller both about 3 months old.
Looks like the issue was the heater. I was able to run the controller with two other heaters without a problem and the beeping which is why I think its the heater. Also, if I plugged the heater directly into the wall and used the controller for the temperature the controller would start making the noise which made me think the heater was "leaking" low voltage or something into the tank (fish have not died which is what is weird to me).
After back and forth with Finnex and not being happy with their support I just bought two brand new ebo jager heaters to connect to the controller. They are working like a charm for now.
However, the weirdest thing happened. I did a water change on Sunday where I use a python connect to a bathroom near my tanks. While doing this, the controller started going nuts on my. When I pulled the syphon out of the tank everything was fine.
WTF is going on? Right now the heaters and tanks are running great but no idea what caused this.
