Had this heater a few years and only gets used when I’m doing a full clean of the nano tank. Well today it was fine then suddenly a squeal and water started bubbling like mad! Then one hell of an awful smell ( still not gone ).

My last TMC product in the house and most certainly will be the last full stop. Not had a single reliable product with there name and a plug on it lol!

Oh and fish isn’t happy, not moving much at all but I’m hopeful.

That’s awful. Hope fishy is ok. I do have to say though that the TMC products I’ve had have always been very reliable and never given me any problems. Light, large skimmer, small skimmer, heater, pump.

Perhaps it’s a quality control issue where not 100% ones are getting through the system.

Betta has been out a bit, but is hiding again under a rock :( I'm still hopeful though.
