I think people like the titanium heater because glass and plastic can crack and leak stuff into your water. Titanium isn't supposed to..

I use two 100 watt ViaAqua titanium heaters for my 40 breeder both have built in thermostats so they make it easy to see a heat problem if there was one. I did so after reading so many people having 1 heater cook a tank. Learned the hard way with glass heaters after a glass one exploded during a water change, also had one marineland heater that just stayed on after only being a year old.

Being a pico tank it may be a pain to have 2 heaters.
