Just got an Aquatop heater......

....and when I got it home and started to set it up, I realized it was European. I mean, the plug was still a standard U.S. 110volt, but the degrees were all in Centigrade. I really don't care, this thing is great - traded a cheapo "Deep Blue" for this one which a few bucks cheaper, and it came with a SUPER-heavy duty guard - the whole heater is protected , and the one I traded in was only 250W and this one is 400W! SO I figured i'd give it a test run cuz I haven't owned a heater since 2012 that I actually could say good thing about and I think i'm pretty happy with it. The other thing I really like about it is the suction cups are crazy-strong.....I tried to move it after setting it up and it felt like the damn thing was WELDED onto the tank!!! LOL

How did we end up with this model over here in the U.S.??? Does anyone else hae Aquatop heaters w/ guard and how do you like them? Have I FINALLY found a good heater I can put some faith in or is this too good to be true????

Pics or it didn't happen, lol. How much was it? Was it from Amazon. 400w 110v sounds great.

I know dude....I was amazed....it was like $31.99, believe it or not. Got it right from my LFS, brand new, box never opened....says "rated to 135 gallons"

It was the only one in the store, but I'm about to start ordering them in bulk if they perform this great.


EUROPE FTW!!!

ok, I looked at the box, it was $31.59 and the Deep Blue 250w I returned was $33.99, and it says rated to 75 gallons, but I had 2, so I wanted to see if it was just the 1 that was defective, so I put the 2nd I still have in a 30gallon set to 78F, and it's only keeping the tank at 74F. What kind of garbage is "Deep Blue"???? LOL

About to take this one back too, I just want to make sure I can get it replaced with another Aquatop
