I happened to put my hand in my 55 gallon Discus growout tank and thought it felt kinda warm. I looked at the thermometer and it read 90, I normally keep it at 80. The heater was set at 80. Thank God I discovered this when I did or I may have woke up to boiled fish this morning!
I don't understand why aquarium heater manufacturers don't design there heaters to turn off when they fail.
