Which heater for my new reef?

Hey peeps.....looking for some opinions. What heater would you recommend for my new 35ish gallon reef? I have used Ebo's on all my freshwater tanks, but have heard nothing but good about Visi-therm Stealth's. What do YOU think? Ebo? Stealth? Other?

I have 2 stealths and both have been good heaters so far.Waiting for my last Ebo to call it quits,then I'll replace that one with a stealth also.

i second the stealths. Out of all the heaters I've ever owned, the stealths are excellent. Good price, too considering their quality.

Not one of the WON titanium heaters, they've gotten a bad rap lately.

I think there's a thread in the product reviews section about the WON ones.

I like won brothers titanium heaters, I have had no problems with mine in the past and I just bought another 300W for my new tank.

i've had 2 out of 3 won's that i've owned die on me. They were each just 3 months old when they died. Thermostat problems on both of them. I took one apart to try to figure out what was wrong with it, but couldn't solve it.

They worked great, WHEN they worked, but I'll never buy another one again.

You're lucky if your's haven't given you problems, but I wouldn't trust one if it was the only heater of a tank.
