Has anyone else used this heater? Mine malfunctioned last night killing my ornate polyp. and a school of guppies he, for some reason, never ate. I woke up this morning and the tank water was bathwater hot. 110-120F. Needless to say I'm kinda pissed and won't be buying anohter.

Im old school and still use those ebo jager heaters.. never had any problems.
Sorry about your loss. Try those titanium heaters i hear theyre more reliable.
I stopped using the Ebo Jager when one large pachu broke it, and thank goodness it shorted out and did not kill my fish. I'm using the titanium 350W with a temp gauage built in works fine. Must watch out with the titanium heaters get hot fast and they can burn scaless fish and rays.
Thanks for the heads up guys.
I guess the moral for this thread is do not buy via aqua metal heaters..
I would stick with my beloved EBOs and if you need a heater with protection,
go with tronic ( you can buy a heater guard with it ). Next step for me would be won bros heaters. Arent they a bit pricey though? 50 bucks and up???
