And the under tank heater is simply plugged in and theres no measn of adjusting/ I check it everyyyyday to make sure its not getting too hot.

A UTH can get hot enough to cause a burn in minutes. You really need a thermostat for it. If your local pet store doesn't carry them, a short-term fix until you can order one online is to regulate the UTH with a lamp dimmer switch, those are about $12 at Lowes or Home Depot.
