    the heater is set to come on at 80 because during the day it was getting 81-82 and i didn't want the tank to have huge swings, in a few weeks i might be able to afford to get another heater

    I have my system set-up this way to. Why can't you exchange the heater for one that works right?

    I agree with that, but you may live in a climate that doesn't get too cold.
