So im looking to replace the heaters in my DT i've had them for 3+ years now any recommendations? im using an eshopps RS-200 sump and my tank is 150G 6 foot so about 175-180 total water volume the compartment in the sump the heaters need to fit into is 11"x 11.5
 
I’m using an Innovative Marine Helio 200 watt and it seems good so far. The probe temp matched other probes in my tank so it seems accurate out of the box. The front of my controller was slightly peeling. I contacted IM and they sent a new cover in a couple of days. It was easy to replace and I didn’t need to go without the controller. Great service!
 
Just in the process of switching from a couple of Eheim‘s to a Helio 200 watt. With a back up Inkbird to kill that system if it over heats .
 
Used to hardcore run Ebo Jagers then Eheim Jagers, now I thoroughly enjoy the Titanium Finnex Heaters. The +- accuracy can be a little off, but once you compensate for it, they are rock solid.
 
Same here (even without a wireless feature).
I did just replace my elements after over 2 years. Although they were functioning well, I like to do preventative stuff ahead of waiting till something has problems. Kept the same control board though.
 

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

  • It depends on whether my nutrient export can handle it

  • Not much. I’m willing to adjust my routine

  • Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!
