I had a Thermal Compact heater in a FW tank for 6-7 years before it packed it in and when it did it failed off. I replaced it with another of the same over 3 years ago, no problems. I believe they're made for/by Hagen and I don't know if they're rated highly but I put another in my SW.

I have a few people I talk to in the states and most have used the Ebo like myself, but all seemed to recommend the Won Brothers heater hands down....

Cheers
Steve

Like these group orders ever happen.

I have found Via Aqua Titanium heaters on the Big Al's online site. The price is listed as N/A. Is that the one we are looking for.

I have heard a lot about the Won brothers heaters and I would like to try one out.

I like the group buy idea.

I haven't dealt with many of the Vancouver area stores much, I have bought loads of stuff from Dan at M.O.P.S.

If there are 10-20 heaters that people want to buy, maybe one of the local stores could order them, or MOPS could order them, and give us a half decent price.

My definition of a half-decent price is, take the U.S. Big Al's or Marine Depot price, add 50% for the exchange, then tack on 25 percent more to allow for shipping costs, and the higher cost of doing business on lower volume. Any higher price than that and it is easier to order directly from the U.S.

Default Titanium Heaters

Reef Gallery in Oakville, ON sells titanium heaters for about $ 70. They come with separate dial to set the temperature, and a probe to place in the sump.

I have one, and am very happy with it - I find it maintains a very accurate temperature.

At least now we know of someone who sells them. Now to find one a little closer, or a mail order place that sells them.

There are Won Titanium Heaters at Aquarium Illusions. Surprisingly, the prices are almost the same as the other standard heaters. I will be heading to Calgary at the end of the month if any Calgarians need any.
