Via Aqua ViaAqua Quartz Heaters Aquarium Heaters at Pet Mountain

On March 17, 2013:
Both heaters have been up and running for a few days. Both have kept temps very stable.

I purchased these heaters because I had two heaters from petsmart go bad both at the same time. My tanks were running about 68 degrees. Which I think caused the ick problem. With the heaters in place tank stays at a constant 82 degrees which is a bit high but trying to get rid of the ick. Normally try to keep tank at 78/80 degrees. So far no problems and the tank stays at a constant 82 degree. I went with the ViaAqua because I needed heaters right away and didn't have the 25 to 30 dollars to buy the heaters i really wanted. I like these heaters so much I plan on purchasing more for the other tanks.

The temperature dial/knob does NOT have an arrow marking on the top ... thus, I can't tell where setting is at. May be I missed it???

I bought the 100 watt heater, put it in my tank and it was spot on with my thermometers. The light is not as bright as on my Jager heater making it just a bit harder to quickly glance to see if it's on during the day but makes it better for night because it's not so bright. It's a happy medium. The knob is easy to precisely adjust the temp. At first I thought the temp settings were not as small of increments as I wanted (they go 72, 75, 79, 82, 86, etc) but then I realized you adjust the temperature within a temp number by watching the red bar. So while in 75 degrees range with only a small red bar visible I'm able to get my desired temp of 73-74 degrees. And it's dead on with my thermometer ... it's really accurate! I'm very happy with my purchase. Excellent heater for the money.

I bought the 200 Watt ViaAqua for my freshwater planted tank. The heater works very good, holds the Temperature at 80. I have owned more expensive Heaters, this is just as good. Thanks Pet Mountain for a good price.

It took me about a day to get the temp at the correct degrees but after that it seems to work pretty good and the price was very reasonable. I do find it a little hard to read the temp on the heater but I have to stick on digital thermometers on the outside of the tank.

This keeps my 90 gallon right at 80 degrees. Even in a cold basement. I am very impressed with the build quality of this heater. And it looks nice.

I bought the 100watt and it works great. I like that it has actual numbered temp settings. It has the old school glass tube but for the price you can't beat it

I JUST GOT THIS HEATER TODAY AND REPLACED MY OLD HEATER WHICH KILLED THREE OF MY RED PARROT FISHES DUE TO INACCURATE PERFORMANCE. THIS HEATER IS VERY ACCURATE. I SET THE TEMPERATURE AT 80 DEGREES , AND MY THERMOMETER READING IS THE SAME AS MY HEATER. I AM TRULY AMAZED WITH THIS HEATER. I THINK I AM GOING TO BUY ANOTHER ONE FOR MY OTHER TANK. PRICE FOR THIS HEATER IS VERY AFFORDABLE AND FOR PERFORMANCE IS BEYOND MY EXPECTATION!
