Heater Help

My heater is a Tetra Submersible Aquarium Heater and it has not been keeping my cycling tank at a right temp for a betta.
It is at 76 degrees. Is that too low?

I keep mine 78 to 80. Is the heater working properly? How many watts is the heater and how big is the tank?

IDK if the heater is working properly

It is a 50 Watt
And my tank is a 10 gallon

I just had this happen to me. I picked up a Marineland Stealth 50 watt heater for my 10 gallon. I could not get the temp past 74. I returned it for a Fluval 50 watt and have no problems getting the temp I need. You might want to consider getting another heater if you can only get it to 76.

I'm assuming the heater is adjustable. Maybe try a second thermometer to verify it is for sure bad. It happened to someone else on here.
