from my knowledge of fishkeeping i believe you should go with about 70 on the thermometer not 70 degrees, 70 degrees Fahrenheit. if you were to do 70 degrees the fish would automatically die because the human skin average heat is 35 degrees so can you imagine how harsh that woyld be on the fish skin because the fish sking isn't half as tough as the humans.

How does a water heater work?
"A water heater stores water in a tank and heats the water with a flame at the bottom. The hot water rises to the top of the tank, while the colder water falls to the bottom near the heat source."

You will not hurt the system as it is designed to constantly heat the water until the temperature is raised to your set point. So the answer is that it neither hurts or helps you HWH.
