I was sitting next to the tank and I started hearing a knocking sound i look over and I don't see anything and the noise stops. It started 10 min. later and the sound was back. I looked over and every time it made a knocking sound i saw a small spark on one of the coils. It is only as old as the tank maybe 2 months.

Hmm, perhaps that could explain your heating issue in the tank. You could try and get a replacement from them, but I usually end up going with an Eheim Jager as they are the best I have seen and I trust them to act right.In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.

Damm I traded (under warranty) 3-200 watt marinelands, last year at Petsmart. Same heater they just put a fancy dial and a red light on them. They gave me a hard time but i pressed and they did the right thing. Those old heaters were known to blow up tanks BIG TIME.
This has me a little nervous. Just don't have the money for the Via Aquas right now.
If a heater is making noise I would get it out NOW. Make them warranty it and get a different brand. good luck...200
