Hydor Heater fail

[Vinnynguyen4917]

Hello all,
After been away for few days to visits family out of town and come home last night, notify one of my frys tank’s water very cloudy and when I test the temperature around 115 to 117 degree ,it killed(cooked) all 50+ of my Malagarasi frys that I promises to someone this weekend. I just replaced this type of heater three months ago .Have anyone have experience above this issue in the past? I just want to share my experience with Hydor heater.

I usually buy marineland (cheap and last) I've got one that's over 10 yearsold. Bought a hydro once, it didn't work out of the box. They look nice. I returned it and bought a cheap marineland (ugly but works).

I alway and normally used Eheim heater , though these just for Frys tanks thus use Hydor type but it's won't happen anytime near future because I am going to stick with Eheim or Titanium .

[black_knight]

Sometimes it's good to stick to tried and true. That sucks though. Sorry for the loss

Thanks everyone .

I believe failed heater is every fish keeper nightmare. Sorry for your loss! I guess titanium is the way to go. Expensive though.

Sorry to hear that Vinny. Change all your fry tank heaters.

Sorry for the loss my brother Vinny. I use Eheim heater on all my tanks and I have trust in them for most two years. Please check out Kensfish.com they have a reasonable price on them. For me Titanium is great filter but it costly for fry tank.

wow sorry to hear about the loss.

i never used those heaters, but i also use cheaper heaters. like aqueon. i have most of my heaters tied into timers now, so they are enabled a few hours then disabled a few...usually on a 2 hours cycle. this way if those internal sensors ever short out then the heater does not stay engaged 24/7.

the water temp stays right where it needs to be and gives me some peace of mind when away for extended periods.

Thanks Anh Hung.
I am look into anything reliable and hope/ensure it won't happen again in the future , the feeling of being wittiness that many live have been took because of heater fail is sadness .

[Vinnynguyen4917]

I said 50+ but when I remove them from the tank there were 78 little guys/gal bodies size from 1" to 11/4" .
