Heater Recommendation Please

[Aquattro]

I've used the Won Brothers Ti heaters for years now, I'm happy with them. I also have used Ebo Jager in the past, and would recommend them. As stated, I always use 2 heaters. Neither is strong enough to over heat the tank if it fails ON, and one is enough to keep things going for a while if one fails OFF

Most of my heaters are EboJager. I think you should stick to two heaters, but of smaller size. I have two 150w heaters running my 90 (+15 gal H2O in 30 gal sump).

Thanks Everyone !!!

I'm going to look into these heaters

Good thing my tank is still cycling so I can take a day or two to find a good deal

Thanks for all the suggestions everyone. Turns out one of my 300 watt heaters failed. I’ll the second one as a spare

I took the better part of yesterday looking for EBO jager, Rena Smartheaters, Hydor, and Won Brothers Ti heaters here in town. I never noticed how poor of a selection we have on our stores until I went looking. In the past I’ve used Rena Smart heaters in all of my freash water tanks, but I would have to order them in and that would take a week. I ended up getting a pair of 300W titanium heaters. I really liked the fact they won’t break like glass and they have separate controls and sensors. I found a pretty good deal on them at Bayside Corals here in town. I put them in my sump last night and they seem to be working really well, keeping the temp at a constant 79.1 to 79.3 F

Thanks the great advice everyone

The ones from bayside are ViaAqua and they work good, installed quite a few and never had a problem.

Reviving this old thread because my heater gave it up. I understand the advantages of having two heaters, but need clarification on the watts. I have about 120 gallons of water to heat, so should I buy two heaters rated for around 60 gallons each, so if one fails I still have some heat, and conversely, if one goes full power I don't cook the tank?
Are you all still happy with the heaters you recommended?

Happy Friday!

you may have got it already,
but JL has a heater sale and I'm thinking of picking up the 300watt titanium heater.
I only run the one 150 for my 60 gallons of water volume FWIW.
but it does come on somewhat frequently in the winter to keep it at 25 degrees.
I like cooler temps so it's always going to fight the ambient temp.

Thanks but I picked up to 150s from J&L a couple of weeks ago.
