I set up a new tank (92 gal total volume) a little over a week ago with an eheim jager 200w heater. I had it connected to an inkbird controller, and the alarm kept going off because the heater was heating too much. I disconnected the controller thinking maybe that was causing the issue, but the tank has been holding at 82 degrees. The heater was originally set to 78. I turned it down to 76, temp still holds at 82. Turned it down to 74, temp still holds at 82. The heating light is always on. I even tried calibrating it per the instruction manual. Has anyone else had this issue? I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong or if it’s a defective heater. I’ve always used cheap petco heaters in my other tanks and never had any issues.
