So I was at petsmart picking up some stuff for my fish and my mom. So at the time I had remebered my heater wasnt big enuff to heat the 30gal so I moved it to the 10gal, so therefore I need one for the 30gal. I decided why I am here why not get one, so I really didnt see a huge selectoin and there is no other lfs near by so I thought ok I'll just try the petsmart brand becuase the other one looked even cheaper. So I took it home it heat up the tank and the light came on, then the next day I go to work and it went crzy, my mom got home and my tank was heated to the 90's :( afraid I might lose some fish, ne who I told my mom to unplug it wait 15min then take it out. She does and we cool the tank down, no fish loss thank gosh, and when I took it out I looked at the setting it was set on LOW!! argh. so I take it back and get a dif. one then the one I get doesnt even work, so I take it back get a dif. one and same thing. so I am really irritated with them and stupid heatersQ!! So I thought Id tell everyone in my long and boring story that you shouldnt get heaters from them becuase they are crap, of course my dummyness didnt know that!
 
:D :( afraid I might lose some fish, ne who I told my mom to unplug it wait 15min then take it out. She does and we cool the tank down, no fish loss thank gosh,
Well the good thing about it is that your fish is still living. :D
 
only cuse my mom got home at the perfect time to catch it, or I woulda had some dead Africans and a dead eel!! I got lucky!
 
Id say use What ever you can to keep the tank heater an order a heater.

Ive yet to have any trouble with a new heater, be it from petco, petsmart, Drsfostersmith.com, Thatpetplace.com, or Ebay.
 
Oh No!.... a heated Pool for the africans and eel?
Thanks to Mom! No thanks to those heaters!
 
That's why I went to the Visi-therm stealth and the Titanium Pro-Heat. Bought online only of course LFS want to much for both.
