I need to get a couple of new heaters .I had one stop working in my wife's tank so .I need to replace that and get a spare. I'm wondering what people are using and why they are using them. I have only used the ebo jager heaters with all my tank. but find they need to be calibrated are a while and I'm starting to find that annoying. So I would like some feed back on what people are using would be great.. Thanks

I hear the smart heaters are pretty good. Myself, I have Marineland Visotherm heaters on mine they work well from my experience and a little cheaper priced. Plus they have a lifetime warranty as opposed to Ebo-Jager's 1 year

any one using Titanium Heaters?

I really like the Fluval digital heaters. I've been using one for about a year & a half and haven't had any problems with it.

Not sure about the new Ebo-Jagor yet. Bought two for my SW set up 12 years ago. Crack one, the other one is still running as new.

I heard they don't die.

The one ebo I have is at least 10-15 years old I think. It's green.

Hi Dave......too bad Jager don't make the green ones any more....Ebo Jager can be calibrated and worth getting.....I have both Ebo & Rena Smart heaters.

i use a marineland stealth heater...so far so good...

i second the fluval digital heaters theyre awesome, really easy to see whats going on, they arent an eyesore, and they have two thermometers for less screw ups. i use em in both my tanks and i think aquaman has like 6 of em in his house lol.

o and they have a 5 year warranty, longest i could find at the store when i was looking after my other heater broke down

I'm using titanium heaters but you will need a heater controller as most of the titanium heaters have no controls/thermostat.

any one using Titanium Heaters?

I like the stealth heaters, I only use them know these things are bullet proof. They also blend in to a black backround.

 

[jkam]

hydor external heater or the rena smart heaters are my choices.

any one using Titanium Heaters?

with controller or without controller?

I had bad experience with those controllers brought from States. specially on big Wattage system ( 500w - 1000w ).

For fairly small discus tank, eheim will be a great choice because their heaters are safety at least! I've been using eheim heaters for lots of discus tanks more than 15 years, never have any problem.

I've managed to destroy too many so now I just use Stealth heaters. They are blonde-proof!

I like the idea of having the temp sensor separate.

What I don't understand is how anyone can see any other heater better than the Fluval E series......

+1 on the fluval E
even tho it heats up tanks slowly but it's safe (slowly increase temperature is better for fish)

 

[jobber]

No more stealth pro for me. Inline heating for me.

 

[tony1928]

I like my fluval E's as well. I did wish there was a way to shut off the lcd backlight tho. Neat at first, then a little distracting after. It does serve a purpose tho to let you know if there's an issue with the temperature.

Otherwise, titanium heaters with ranco controller.

Have any of you guys ever try setting the temp to 86 on the fluval E heaters? I've got a new one that won't go higher then 82 no matter what how high I set it. Just be flashing Blue for hours on end.
