Thanks for all the input so far. I'm truly surprised not more people are running titanium heaters! When I had 2 Jager's crap out on me and stick on I bought what I could find locally and got 3 - 300W Aqua Heat Titanium heaters from a hydroponics/plant place. They have an external temp sensor and controller and I've been pleasantly surprised by their performance. Their actual calibration is a bit off (difference between actual water temp and the numbers on the dial), but I have a stand alone digital thermometer that I use to set their temp and it's worked really well.
I was hoping to get more feed back on Finnex and Blue line. I thought they were supposed to be decent heaters but so far only one person on here is running the Finnex. Hmmmm...
I like the idea of running several heaters that no one heater can cook the tank if it fails.

I was looking at the Finnex titanium with controller as well. They look good, and are decent for the money. I just can't tell wether or not the controller comes with an external temp probe. If so, the only thing they are missing is a digital readout. Those knobs scare me.

From what I have read, the Finnex have reliability on their side.

I run 3 x 250w Jager heaters on my 180G all running through my controller.

One of the nicest units I have seen are these:

Lots of added safety protection on the units but you pay for it. No worry about glass breaking or being stuck in the on position.

2 x 150w Jager heaters on my 67gallon controlled by the Apex.

There are also limited by the built in thermostats set at 80° just in case the apex goes wonky or I forget to put the temperature probe back in the water after cleaning it.
