Second from recent personal experience do you have the temp probe sitting on your heat. Second the accurite takes ambient temp and the probe from you thermostat if placed against the heat source will read hotter due to the fact that it is picking up surface temps. Do you have a temp gun to check your temps for surface temp.

I have a UTH stuck under the tank but I stuck it on after I got the ranco so i couldn't place the probe in between the glass and the UTH. I just have the thermostat probe sitting under the substrate inside the tank. Same goes for the accurite probe. I don't have a temp gun either. Maybe I should get one...
