Favorite Heater that you trust?

[Dilan Patel]

So I am in the market for a heater for the new build. I am looking for a reliable heater but not to break the bank. I am going to do either 2 150w or 2 200w heaters :) What are heaters you like or hate?

None of them enough not to use a controller. I use Ehiems on a Ranco or Medusa (not made anymore, but awesome). Inkbird would be Ok too.

I have never had an issue with my Eheim Jager, not to say I won't eventually though but I'm currently looking for a controller as others have mentioned.

We use (2) 150w Eheim Jagers with an Inkbird controller on our 125g.

Eheim. Hands down favorite.

Cobalt neotherm, the redesigned one that was blowing up. Holds my temp within half a degree.

Finnex titanium is my jam. After having a glass heater blow up and fry an entire tank I switched and will never go back!

Finnex titanium is my jam! After a glass heater exploded and nuked a tank I made the switch and will never go back. The controller that comes with it is usually a bit off though so just make sure you check the temp of the DT with a good thermometer. When you get the temp you want it's just set and forget.

+1. Controlled by apex.

I mostly use jaggers but also finnex. I try and change my heaters about every 2 years. What I will do is take my display heaters and switch them to my qt heaters and throw out the qt ones.

+1 Eheim Jagger. Finnex titanium is another reputable choice.
