ReefCrafter checks both the low-wattage failure and the oversized stuck-on failure.

Risk notes

  • A single oversized heater can cook livestock faster than a beginner notices the problem.

Professional fit context

  • Check wattage, controller, redundancy, tank size, and whether two smaller heaters are safer.
  • Cobalt Neo-Therm 75W Submersible Heater fits roughly 10-25 gallon systems; confirm that range against the final display volume, sump volume, and livestock plan.
