Is my heater malfunctioning?

Hello; First there are other things that can warm tank water. Lights can add heat. Mechanical filtration does generate small amounts of heat. Also the motors give off heat. The old incandescent lights were very hot.
About the heater. Most heaters have an indicator light that shows when the heater is on. Look for that.
Heaters do fail either stuck on or stuck off. Try unplugging the heater.

The heater cuts off automatically, but still Temps are high, I'm using led lights and a hob filter if that helps,
Hello; The heater indicator may be set at 78 F but could actually be turning off at 90F.
Or the glass thermometer may not be accurate.
@78deg dont feel all that warm to me, usually it only feels warm when its over 80, but that's me. I Would say if it feels warm it may be, try a new thermometer and see if that tells the tale.
No, I don't but I cross checked my thermometer with on of my friend's and it's actually accurate, so I guess my room temp in conjunction with the heater must have increased the Temps.
