I’m starting up my innovative marine lagoon 25 and I want to go with a titanium heater with a controller. I bought the brs 100w with ink bird controller. Well I didn’t realize the brs 100w was going to be too tall to but in the back chamber. I put the heater on my other tank as a backup and I ordered the innovative marine 100w heater but didn’t realize it didn’t have a normal plug to plug into my INKBIRD. It has a 5 pin plug that is designed for a helio controller. My question is there any kind of adapter I can buy to be able to use the INKBIRD so I don’t have to buy the helio?

I have the BRS titanium heater in my 25 lagoon, can you not just angle it in there?
 
I'll add that I have a 200 watt BRS heater (overkill, but it's just what I had on hand when I started the tank) and it's backed up by an Inkbird controller, as well as a tank controller.
 
The brs heater sticks out of all the chambers in the back unless I put it where the filter caddies go. I don’t want to put it in the display tank. I want to make the innovative marine heater work with the ink bird I already bought but idk if there is a way
 
I am not aware of an adaptor or the pinout of either. They are not likely at all compatible without understanding the wiring diagram of both.

They would not waste money on a 5 pin connector if a 3 pin connector would have worked. It could be 2 H, 2N and a Ground, or 1 H, 1N, 1G and some type f sense port. I have no clue.

If you knew how to sort this out sefely, you would have already done it. I would look for different options to use with the InkBird. Try Jhemco.com - heaters come in various lengths. Adding several lower wattage heaters is likely a better idea than a single large one anyway.
 
Looks like I’ll just have to buy the helio controller
