When the water temp reaches 78° the heater will automatically turn off so the water doesn't overheat. You should get a thermometer in your tank so you can see what the temp is that way you'll know if the heater is working.
@@Sprkymx Do you have a thermometer? Maybe your aquarium or the new water you have the heater in is already at 78° that might be the reason for the light turning of so quickly.
First thing the instructions say is tilt it a t a 45° angle. Pointing straight up the heat rises and tells it the temperature is reached and shuts it off.. I recommend reading the directions.
Hey just so you know. That heater will automatically shut off if the water temp goes pass 78 degree so you should check the water temperature. If it dropped below 78 degrees, it’ll start up again.
The amount of mistakes in this video is a bit alarming. Hopefully you've been able to do some more research on fish care and have been able to correct some of them (assuming you're still in the fish keeping hobby). The heater itself definitely isn't great for everybody (I personally had some issues at first with mine, but after looking into it, I have been able to fix the issues). You want to make sure that the heater is fully submersed into the tank with no part sticking out of it, while also making sure that you place the heater in a spot that has more flow (ex: near the a filter or even air stone). Having the heater next to an air stone or filter will ensure that the whole tank is being heated properly since the flow of the water would basically distribute heat throughout the tank. If the heater is just in one of the corner of your tank, it will most likely end up only heating certain parts of the water, so you'll end up having a mix of warm/cold water in different areas. Personally, I prefer to keep my heater in either a fully horizontal position or even at a 45° angle since it also helps in distributing heat throughout the tank. Regarding the choice of fish in the tank, betta fish normally shouldn't be kept with goldfish because they have different environmental needs (goldfish require slightly cooler temps and normally don't need heaters in the tank while bettas should have higher temperatures considering they are tropical fish). I know that you said your betta fish is "chill" in the video mainly because it is hanging out around the filter, but most likely it is scared or stressed which is why it is hiding behind the filter. Based on the condition of its fins, it also doesn't look extremely healthy. The only other thing that kind of alarmed me is the fact that you said you have only had your tank for about 2 days and already have fish stocked into it. In my opinion, it definitely feels like you mainly wanted to have the fish as a hobby and most likely rushed into getting stuff for it straight away without doing a ton of research. Normally for smaller tanks like yours, I would recommend cycling the water for at least a week so that the tank can establish trace amounts of ammonia and nitrite levels (basically just to make sure that the water parameters and everything is okay for the fish. Ideally, unless you bought a pre-cycled tank from a local fish store, you normally shouldn't stock a tank that soon without cycling it properly. While I am still not a fish expert myself, a lot of the information I have provided is stuff that took very minimal research and my fish are all healthy and thriving :)
you got a tank 2 days ago and already stocked it with fish? cold water fish mixed with tropical? and a betta? Lmfaoooo put the heater lower heat rises.... you dont even have a thermometer 78 degrees is cold to touch on your hands man my god those poor fish its not 1960 you could have maybe done a few days research before buying fish
I keep seeing everyone saying “AfTEr 78 DeGReeS iT ShUTs OFf”....obviously but I’m having the same problem with my heater, wondering if there is a trick to fixing it
Same here I have been checking the water every t30 minutes and it is continuously dropping temp now at 74 and heater is not coming on . It is completely submerged and plugged in 🙄
@@bluefishaquarium2829 I already have it, that's why i was looking at reviews. So for its working fine for me. Maybe they fixed the issue on the more recent models
@@dj_gflow Dude I had mines completely underwater and the red light turn off and all my fish died in one day. The product is unpredictable and stupid.....
That’s to show us all how wrong and brain washed we are🤷🏻♂️I have a crown male with 4 Molly’s 5 tetras and one small fancy guppy oh and 8 ghost shrimp and yes in a some what small 10g but guess what it gets along!
Pet store called Atlas pet supply here in Minnesota told me I could have a Betta and gold fish together but two different places said “absolutely not” unfortunately I have spent too much money on several tanks because some are crap and cracked and now idk what to do. I have to move the Betta I know that but over $300 on everything when it should have been simple and I shouldn’t have been lied too. Thankfully they get along though. Damn heater isn’t working for me either I’m annoyed as this tank cost $89.99 with everything in it.
@Jose Orozco wayyyyy too much fish for a 10 gallon lmao. Your options are limited for small tanks you should upgrade sizes. Sure they might get along but certain fish should be kept in more spacious aquariums
Goldfish need cold water, betta needs warmer. The heater shuts off once it achieves 78 temperature. Dude you did everything wrong and you blame the product
I had mine fully submerged and it didn’t turn off at 78 degrees and made the water hot. Thank god I moved my betta before this happened. Top fin is garbage, never again
Annitzia Diaz awesome thanks for the quick response I have a 20 gallon tank that’s barely almost half way filled up and i was so sad because my turtle arrives tomorrow ! By fully submerged this includes the top part including some of the wire? Thank you for the reply
You should never have a betta and a goldfish together... yikes. Also goldfish dont need heaters, and that tank is to small for a goldfish...
You couldn’t be more correct, shouldn’t trust this guy for reviews

What about mine cause i plug it in in new water and it just blinked red for a quick sec and nothing pls help

Mine didnt work either red light went on for 30 seconds than turned off so frustrating
I just bought one today 😶 and its not working

This is happening to me. It worked the first day and now the light won't turn on and the water is cold! 🥺
Yes me to and I’m scared

Me too
@@dvs.boy23 pretty sure I gave that one away and said to hell with it
The first day the water was so hot when i put my hand in and i turned it off . Now it won't heat up at all. Water is at 73. Im gonna have to return it
Why does my light go off?
Youre supposed to submerged the whole thing, and you should have thermometer to see your temp if its actually working.
It says in the package if not fully submerged it will shut off. You have the top sticking out
Yes On the video is stickingoit. . But I did say I tried everything. And still didnt work. Dont buy it

Yes my fish got ICK and this heater doesn't have temp gauge to go higher to kill off the ick heading to get a adjusted Temp heater
@@Johnchico-xz7qk you get what you paid for.. the ones that have controlls are much expensive this cost $20
Wtf! Betta and gold fish? Those fish have 2 different environment requirements!

ahaha
Bro buy one first then u will know its very slow.it turns off after 30seconds or a min without even touching the temperature that it was set.
@@mohammadsaminyasar3429 mine was working properly :/ are you sure its not at 78° Fahrenheit and youre using it under 20 gallons?
So u meant when the water heats the 78 F the red light shuts off automatically?
Hello can i turn the preset heater side ways in the water when does the light come on
I had mine fully submerged and it didn’t turn off at 78 degrees and made the water hot. Thank god I moved my betta before this happened. Top fin is garbage, never again
This is not top fin protect its Aqueon
Wow
You need to submerge all heaters in tanks for 15 min to calibrate, before plugging it in. Otherwise they do this I’ve found.
Mine is doing the same thing, shits off after a minute or so.
If the temp is more then 78° it’ll shut off, Buy a temperature checker they are less then $10
And the betta is not chill its scared.
The betta is sick and its fins are messed up
Nice tank
It's been hours and my heater is still not on, this heater is shit, don't buy this.
I’m having the same problem
ToxicAbenezer me too did you fix it or figure out the problem
Annitzia Diaz me too
TRUST FAITH i submerged the heater completely in water and it started working and its been working since last night
Annitzia Diaz awesome thanks for the quick response I have a 20 gallon tank that’s barely almost half way filled up and i was so sad because my turtle arrives tomorrow ! By fully submerged this includes the top part including some of the wire? Thank you for the reply
Having same issue
