Re: [GSAS-Member] Do heaters die of old age?

One heater has an indicator, which comes on as expected. Both are warm to
the touch though I could swear that they have felt hotter in the past.

I'll figure out if a heater has failed eventually. For now I just bought
another 300W heater to take up the slack, for the sake of the fish I had to
make a change today.
