This heater is a bit fussy to set up because it is three connected units: The heater tube, a temperature sensor you must attach inside the aquarium some distance from the heater, and a control unit that hangs outside the tank. Once you have it set though it works well. It maintains a good steady temperature. It indicates that temperature in glowing red digits, easily seen at a distance, and has another light to show when the heater is on. Since the indicated temperature changes when I change some water I know the temperature shown is water temperature and not just the setpoint that SHOULD be water temperature. That's good to know.
When you unplug the unit, as for water changes and such, it resets to a default temperature of 79 deg f. Pushing the temperature set button only raises the temperature setting but no worries; when it gets to the top (which is 96 f) it jumps to the lowest temperature (in the mid 60s if I remember correctly) and starts up from there again.
