I have a 175 gallon system and am using a hygger hg102 heater. It’s kept the temp perfect for 4 weeks now but last night I noticed the temp dropped to 73. It’s not rising. There’s no error codes and the heater display is on like everything is working properly. I placed a smaller backup heater in and have it up to 75. Inspected the hygger and nothing seems off about it.

They are in China and won’t be in until next week, they are 12 hours ahead of EST.
 
Is the heater itself only 4 weeks old?
 
Is the heater getting hot? I just hold them in my hand to make sure they are actually heating even if the controller shows it is. Could be a defective heater. I always keep several heaters and a controller or two laying around. Heater failures are quite common. Good thing is that temp isn't low enough to hurt anything and low is much better than too high.
