    Heaters are rarely accurate with their temperature dials. I would get the temp. of the tank at the desired level and turn the nob on the heater until it shuts off. Do this slowly because the thermostat has a little lag. You may have to adjust it a couple times before you get it just right. Normally in the summer a heater should probably only need to come on at night after lights out but alot depends on room temp.,pumps, and lighting used.
