Finnex HPC 100 Watt Digital Quartz Glass Heater
The HPC heater series is a glass heater that uses an advanced digital processor that monitors and controls the water temperature in your aquarium. The heating controller receives temperature data from the remote sensor in the aquarium. The remote sensor contains no bi-metallic contacts to arc, corrode or wear out. This allows HPC heaters to have precise control, keeping the water temperature stable while avoiding wide temperature swings common with low-quality aquarium heaters. The built in display lets users know the current temperature, allowing you to easily make temperature adjustments with the control button positioned on the power cord.
The remote sensor also functions as an automatic power cut-off switch. If the water level drops too low and exposes the temperature sensor to the air, power to the heater is turned off. This prevents over-heating of the aquarium, saving your prized aquarium life from harm. The HPC series 2mm thick quartz glass also features a protective heater guard to prevent aquatic live from accidentally coming in contact with the heating tube.
Maintenance: Clean and confirm the out-of-water sensor is functioning properly every 30 days. Do not use heater if the out-of-water sensor is inoperative. Refer to the instruction manual for proper maintenance and care.

Big but nice
Heater is pretty bulky. Not attractive in the tank. But the digital setting with external controller is such a fantastic idea! About time someone came up with a way to adjust temp settings without sticking your arms in the tank and having trouble reading the setting etc etc. Will buy again when other heaters give up (they always do). Haven’t had it long enough to judge durability/longevity.
