Looking for new heater for my BioCube 32g

[Zoe’s Reef]

Hi all! I'm looking for a new heater for my BioCube 32g. I've been using a Cobalt Neo-Therm 150W and it's been long enough where I feel like it's time to replace it before it dies. Any suggestions for a new, also slim, heater? I'd like it to fit in a back chamber of the biocube, preferably the chamber where the stock pump sits (that's where my current heater is).

Also, did I miss something? Why are all Cobalt Neo-Therm heaters out of stock everywhere?

TIA!

Finnex or BRS titanium with an external controller like an InkBird would be good. Really slim heating elements!

Thank you for the suggestions!

If you’re just looking for a cheap replacement for if/when the Cobalt does eventually go the way of the Dodo, Eheims are very cost effective and reliable.

The Eheims are great! Just pretty large if looking for a small footprint.

I’ve also used the Fluval E-series (I think) without issues. Those are the ones with the aluminum like finish and blue light.

Thank you all!

Are these the ones your talking about? https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/eheim-jager-trutemp-aquarium-heater.html
BRS Titanium heaters are out of stock too, looks like the Eheims are currently the only ones available.

Yes. The titanium ones need a controller such as an Inkbird as they have no independent temperature controller. These are the Fluval heaters I was referring to (the M-Series, which I can never remember).

The BRS titanium with InkBird would be my first choice, but this would be another option.

The Eheim get very large, so if you want a smaller footprint, that may not be the best choice….

Eheims for the win. I’ve used several different brands and almost all have messed up at some point other than my current Eheim. It’s huge but it works perfectly.
