:laugh: 150w heater has to be turned up to max (32c) to achieve a steady 26c.
Checked the heater all looks fine , i noticed somebody else in this forum had the same problem.
Had it on at 28c previously temp would only reach 22.3c with the blue halogens but would fall short of 25c with all lights on.
Tank still cycling so no livestock but a bit concerned what would happen(i.e how much the temp would drop when all stocked up and the light timer set.)
Light a two pin end so that it fits in to the rsm control panel , would need to contact them to see if they would replace with something like 300w.
Anyone any ideas.:(

mate listen the RSM heaters are rubbish I bought myself a stealth heater from the states I know what was I thinking! ONLY because the plug was 2 pin so I can connect it to the RSM powerstation still wanted it to be under one plug and it works wonders!!!

Yep Ill second that , the stock RSM heater is tacky but you dont rele need a heater badly tbh. When I had my RSM the tank always kept at around 26-28.c with the heater turned off all the time, the RSM pumps get warm and heat the water.

Maybe get in contact with red sea & see if they can suggest anything before replacing as you never know it might be something simple :)
