I purchased two Finnex 500w titanium heaters and have them connected to my Ranco controller.
When checking wattage draw, one reaches 450w and the other is 430w. Is this within spec or are these heaters just not reaching the proper temperature ?
My 200w Ehiem Jager is reading dead on.
I'm measuring with a Kill-a-Watt. If I was off by 25-30 watts each heater, I wouldn't be concerned, but 120w total is alarming
