Best Heater

[Branespikin]

I need to buy a great heater for my 75 gallon tank with prob 10-15 gallon sump. I had some old glass one and the other day it started smoking out of my cabinet and it was my heater. It broke and everything started sizzling. Thank God i was home when this happened. Wife went crazy so i need the best heater out there to make sure this does not happen again. Any suggestions guys?!?
Thanks:bunnies:

I got this one

Reasonably priced, seams to be accurate and I'm not afraid of braking it. I have two of them, both seam to work great.
Good luck.

I was looking at this JBJ Tru Temp. Its pricey for 300w but if this will give me a peace of mind then heck id buy it. Anyone try these?

Titanium heater
look into hydroponics heaters and not necessary aquarium heaters, there is a steep mark up between the two industries, same heater.

Regardless of the brand, I always buy a new heater at about the 1 year mark. They're inexpensive enough and are just not the best made piece of equipment in my opinion. Too many stories of broken heaters and leaking current to trust an old one.

The old heater gets sent to the water change bucket.

Yes your right the mark up on aquarium heaters is insane

I use the cobalt neo-therm..used them for a long time and never had any problems. .

i agree!!!!! $30-40/year on a new heater is definitely something we all can afford!! which reminds me, its time to order a new Eheim. i really just love anything made in Germany.

if your looking for a 300watt, it will be safer to use two 150watt. so if 1 fails or sticks on.
just because something is new doesnt mean it will out last the old one. their is a thing called known good.

I guess it is better to buy 2 of them to be safe. Still havent decided. Will order something tomorrow still want to get some more feed back. Leaning toward Cobalt. Like the sleekish design. But will see. Thanks
