Thank you for this. I have this exact problem right now.

[@whatthef11000]

Or you can buy the 5/8 size heater and have no problem

[@boebender]

That’s a great idea!

[@WatchingPlanesnbirds]

Thank you

[@Oslohiker]

Or you could use a couple or reducers

[@DevilsAvocado69]

Any leaks?

[@Linoleum82]

using a sunsun filter? I'm setting up my first tank soon and made the same mistake and will have to rig up something similar to what you did :)

[@dlealchicago]

How is this working out still? Thanks

[@hsanjacquez]

D Leal No issues at all. No leaks whatsoever and it’s running on 6 years strong.

I've heard these heaters fail alot

[@NoneDareChallengeMe]

*WARNING: These heaters have been officially discontinued due to the very high electronic failure rate on them. Avoid like the plague!*

[@fuppduck2068]

Not according to Hydor. I just asked them a couple of days ago and they said it is still in production. It is still advertised on their website too.

[@NoneDareChallengeMe]

Nope. It's widely reported to have a very high failure rate due to the substandard electronic components. As a result, it is no longer being produced.

[@typeonepositive6240]

LOL, 8 months later..... still being produced, sold, and supported. Cool story though.

[@PACK-ge5gu]

Ill insert a name here
BULLSHIT
They are still being made😱

[@boebender]

I can confirm they are alive and well in 2023 going into 2024.
