I am looking at this heater, anyone using the Aqua top titanium heaters? Good or bad?
What heater would you all recommend?
Thanks

Just bought 2 of the 500w titanium heaters for my new setup (305g). I am using one atm in my 150g and it works great. The reading on the temperature probe is 1 degree different but it holds temperature like a champ. Also the titanium heater itself is very compact compared to my Eheim heaters.

Great, thanks for letting me know. Those heaters sound promising. Are you using the Aqua top that j&l sells?

Yes picked up from J&L. Works like a charm so far and very consistent in temperature.

Have been using one for a couple months now. Holds the temp well and haven't had any issues, but haven't been using it long.

I have been using mine only for 3 weeks now. But same as above, I have had no issues so far.

Thanks for the response everyone.
One more question... I have limited sump space for a heater, for a total of 80 gallons could I get away with a 200 watt heater? The 200 watt is 10.5" versus 11.5" for the 300 watt and would fit better in my sump.
Thanks
