Had issues with temp swings on my last tank about 12 years ago so I bought this cheap lil guy for my new fusion 20.
$35 to keep it within a degree. I like that it has the cooling outlet as well to set a computer fan to blow across the tank to cool it down in the summer.
Been running it a few days while starting this new cycle. It seems like it's bringing it up to the desired 78f, but then turning off the heater until it drops back down to 77, then turning the heater back on to 79. Which I suppose it's doing its job, but I don't want it to swing a degree every few hours, I want it to stay at 79, obviously.
Is this the intended design or do I have it set up wrong?
Also before I had swings of a 2-3 degrees either way, and it was not great.
What harm, if any, will one degree swings do in a tank of Nems, fish, SPS etc?
TIA!
