This could all be written with just one line:

DO NOT USE THE HEATER.

Such a waste of ink, page space and time (reading it).

Aww. I need it for my holding tank for awhile. It will be on my controller in the main tank. I have an Ebo 75 w in there now but the stupid thing drifts up and down over a degree. Not a biggie but not right.

I have coral frags in there now..........3 lined chromis from Kraken coming tomm and coral order from FragCave the next day and then Gregs next week. All going in there. Thats a sizable loss if something goes wrong.

5. Do not plug into an extension cord/power strip.

Thanks for such high appraisal Doug

Those warnings "IMO" are in case you buy the product and you are a total moron about electrical, I have 3 of these heaters and they work great.
I would say most of us have common sense and use it, but there may be some out there that do not, so they have to cover their butt!!
