tetra submersible heaters?

[coffeebutts]

I have one in each of my two 2.5 gal tanks...I had purchased it because it came with a warranty; should have done my research.
Honestly I have had no problems with either of them and I've had them for a few months. Keeps my tank between 74-78 degrees without fail. I'll know not to get another in the future but so far so good.
I usually stand mine up vertical and try and get as much of it in the water as possible.

Here's a pic of the setup.

I'm not trying to hijack the thread at all, but I was thinking about buying the Tetra until I saw the thread. What do you guys think of the Hydor? I'm considering this

I have a Tetra heater and it stays at 78 degrees all the time, just like it says on the box. I only had problems with it when I first started using it, but once i let it run for about a week, it worked just fine. Swimmers seems happy with this water temp.

I have that heater for my 10 gallon, only a lower watt. It is really reliable. I can't recommend it enough! Love the heater.
