I think those warnings are just to cover their a**es because they know that 99.9% of people who buy them will plug them in to a power bar, or some sort of extension cord. I mean really, who has enough wall sockets to run an entire aquarium, and how else can you use this thing with a controller? That way, if your house burns down, even if it was 100% the heater's fault, they're pretty much un-suable because they'll be able to claim you weren't following their safety instructions.

heater
I have one, many years old and still going strong. I have to admit that I also read the brochures, it keeps me from falling asleep in front of my tank. I really like the one that comes with the metal halide bulbs about UV radiation this and don't look at the bulb that. I've been staring athemforyearsnowandther'snotingwromgwithme!

I also have a via titanium heater, does the trick for my daughter's nano and works in tandem with the chiller quite well.

I too have 3 of those. And after reading all the instructions you just posted,well I've pretty much broke every one of their rules. They do get extremely hot, I always forget to unplug when doing a water change and only notice when I can smell the heat. 2 of them work great and the other one is out by 8 degrees.

Too bd fair, you really shouldn't be plugging heaters or lights onto what are typically electronic grade/low load power bars.
You find the same warnings on space heaters. Often in bold.

Thanks guys. Its running.
Albert., its a heavy duty power bar, FWTW. It will be on my Apex bar on the new tank. I have a RK2, with an 8 plug in power bar, on my 20g but only one temp probe port, which is of course in my 20g
