Where do you live? (climate) What temperature is your house usually at? What brand heater? The tank doesn't get direct sunlight does it? Most likely, your heater is inaccurate.

THats how much a 100 watt tetra brand costs here. Not a bad price at all, considering the stealths are the best heater on the market.

That is the normal online discount price. Normal LFS retail is like 40. Premium heater my ass. It's made in China and probably costs the company about 3 bucks to make, lol.
