I just went from 1 (250 W) heater to 2 (125 W)....my tank was at 79*, I put the two heaters in set at 79* (although I know that can vary a lot) and within 2 hours my tank was over 80, turned them down to 77, couple hours later (and after the lights were out), tank was almost to 82. I just turned them down again. Am I setting something wrong - I just turned the dial to have the arrow point to the temp. I did nothing with the calibration? Also when adjusting the temp, how far can I pull the heater out of the water safely - I have to move it out more than the "min water level" in order to read it. thanks!
