You have been warned yet again. I had an Aqueon Pro heater failure today, thankfully I have heat controllers on all of my tanks and they work. My controller warned me that my normal 80 degrees tank was falling and it was at 74 degrees. I just messaged Aqueon and I'm waiting to see what they say. I have had no less than three of these heaters fail in the last year and a half. I will not
be purchasing Aqueon heaters anymore as they just are not reliable.
All of my heaters came from Ken's and I have let him know this as well. It's nice that Aqueon has a lifetime warranty, but that won't help you if your fish end up dead because of heater failure. I hope others here that may have had a similar experience will take the time to let your aquarium retailer know so they will pass along this information and possibly get a recall going and also do something about product quality. I hate to complain to Ken's about this issue again but the fact is these heaters are failing and the proof is online on forums just like this one if you take the time to look (00)
