I have a Budgett's frog that recently came up from an annual aevistation. I bought a new aquarium heater for it, a 100W one designed for tanks 10-30-gallons. It was one of those from Wal-Mart, since that was the closest place. It doesn't have a thermostat but it's supposed to keep the water at a constant 78 degrees. But, according the digital aquarium thermometer I have, the temp isn't going much above 74 degrees!
I had a similar device, also from Wal-Mart, before. It was a 50W heater. It did the but since I had it for around 2 years I figured the warranty was up and bought the stronger 100W one. But it's now gicing me the same results! It's weird, though, I never had this problem with these Wal-Mart heaters before and the frog's tank is 10-gallons, the same one he's always been in (except of course when he was aevistating). I had one with an adjustable application on it, too, that I bought from Petco quite a while ago but it apparentlly broke (guessing again the warranty was up). What could be the problem I'm having?
While we're on the subject, can anyone name where I can get a GOOD water heater. I'm trying to get the water to at least the high 70s. I plan to get a new one soon with a thermostat.
