What heater to get?

Can someone recommend me a heater for a 90g?

Ebo Jager. Been using them for years and years and years. :)

Via Aqua Titanium. I have not used glass heaters in 7 years. The Via Aqua has a seperate controller and temp sensor and is very accurate, had one in my 10G for over 6 years no and 0 problems.

Sounds good i will check both of those out :)

Btw will they run on an apex controller? since some have their separate controls?

Do you still use the Via Aqua seperate controller as well?

I have one on my system now but not sure if there are anyone that is better out there. Wish it had the indicator light telling me when it is on though.

Does the Via Aqua have a indicator light?

Yes, you set the heater a few degrees warmer than the aquarium controller so if one or the other fails you don't cook the tank.

The new stealths have indicator lights.

Cool, thanks AZ.

Sweet now im stuck between that one and the stealth...

Regardless of what you choose an additional controller for back-up reasons should be used as well.

that is exactly what I do, you want to try not to have a single point of failure.
