Yeah, the latest Aqueon Pro heater model has just sucked. The older one (blue dial) worked really well, so it's really disappointing how they just tanked the quality with the new one (clear dial).

An Aqueon Pro heater has a lifetime warranty, and that's what I have in both my tanks.

For a heater, I really like aqueon pros but I've also used any heater and like to replace mine yearly (it's not that I buy cheap heaters, it's literally I just don't trust them and they break seemingly easily).

I've been using Aqueon Pro heaters because they have a lifetime warranty and sure enough they replace it if it dies.

Now I just trust the internal thermometer on the aqueon pro heaters and use a digital one as a backup.

Don’t get the new aqueon pro heaters. The orange tip ones are so awful

I just use typical aqueon pro heaters, just about any heater on the market will have good and bad reviews.

Went thru similar bs with aqueon pro heaters. 1st was cracked out of the box, 2cd died within a month.

I use aqueon pro heaters and I love them. Mine is 100w since my house stays pretty cold.

i have had nothing but bad luck with the aqueon and aqueon pro heaters.

I would recommend an Aqueon Pro heater, they're adjustable, fully submersible, and extremely durable, 79°F should be the temp you're shooting for.

My heater (Aqueon pro) is set to around 78, so it is also off by roughly 1.5f.

Aqueon and Aqueon Pro heaters are great ime. I see the Pro suggested here all the time, and I have that and the regular Aqueon heater in my tanks. Both are great, reliable, and (importantly) adjustable.

The Aqueon Pro that just died in my basement I found out about because I got a push notification on my phone that my aquarium temperature was 71°F.

I always use multiple heaters in my tanks. For example in my planted 75 gal I have 2 of the 250W heaters.

I bought two Aqueon Pro heaters, Both failed at nearly the exact same time for the exact same reason: the plastic heater body split at the base.

they can and do burst. Seen a couple exploded aqueon pro heaters around.

I had to run 4 300w aqueon pro heaters to achieve around 72 -78°F …

I had a aqueon pro heater fail and I caught it at 93.

I've had an aqueon pro heater in my 20 long for over a year now and it's still working perfectly. Once I got the temperature set correctly I haven't had to adjust it once.

I have a 10g and have the 50 watt Aqueon pro heater! Works great!! It’s really cold where I live now. Thermostat in my house will say 69 Fahrenheit and the heater keeps my tank steadily at 80!!

I don't trust any glass heaters at all anymore. Even the good ones eventually leak or get stuck on. I would only use either the Cobalt Neo-Therm or the Aqueon Pro.

I like the Aqueon Pro heater but if it's not on sale or it's too expensive go for the glass one but the pro is really nice too because it's that black material and seems like it wouldn't break as easily .

I switched to an Aqueon Pro 50 watt and it's doing a much better job... actually keeping the water 80° when it's set to 80°. Amazing.
