Heater Element Is Glowing...

[sketchy]

Hi all

Just setting up the new tank today, and have a little query RE: the heater

The heating elements are glowing. This has never happened on my old 100W heater. This is a 200W, so I'm not entirely sure if it's simply doing this because it's a more powerful heater.

I believe that it is touching a plant pot also. Could this be a problem?

Many thanks in advance!

Best to move the plantpot away form it a bit, but yes it will glow, my 200W one in the garage glows up pretty bright.
