"Perfect for my 5gal tank.The green light let's me know when the temp is correct and the red light let's me know when it's heating up."

"I have let it sit in my tank for 24 hours and my tank is still only at 72 degrees. I checked to make sure I have the 100 watt for my 30 gallon tank and I do have the correct wattage. Not sure what is wrong."
