Recommend a heater

[NL146]

What heater would you recommend for a 250g aquarium? Is inline better than drop in? What about redundancy? Do you have two heaters installed?

Thanks!

I picked up an Innovative Marine Helio dual heater about a year ago and I love it.

Finnex and BRS titanium with InkBird controllers

I run a single 600 watt Finnex titanium on a 120 gallon reef.. in the corner overlow.. along with a 200 watt eheim that kicks on if it gets too cold. Finnex are nicer than the BRS heaters, IMO, especially the footprint which is much slimmer/shorter for fitting in tight spaces. The room stays around 68 F in the winter. The Finnex 600 covers most of my heating needs, keeping the system between 78/79, unless the room drops down to 65 or below. I have a third BRS titanium connected to the Apex, that is a last ditch backup, set at 76F.

BRS heaters are crap stay away! They fail always and don’t last long. Finnex x 2 with controller 100%.
