Best Heater

Time to tell me what you feel is "THE BEST HEATER" on the market.

I want a submersible, shatter proof, truly reliable and extremely safe heater. I am tired of them shorting, breaking, and going out after about 2 years.

Please give me your feedback.
 
Ive used this one since I started the hobby in '91. The design has changed over the years but I have had this actual heater in my fresh water setup when I was a kid and I use it to date on my reef tank.
 
I have had the two same Won titanium heaters since my glass ones shattered in my tank when I moved into my new house. That has been seven years now and they work great.
 
I also run a Won titanium tube. It's got a few years on it. I feel the key is to stay away from glass & also get a unit with remote dial/thermostat. Why submerse the electronics. That's my take on why so many fail.

I wouldn't trust any heater, really. Mine is set a few degrees above my ACjr controller. Good to have a backup.
 
I have had 2 Won Titanium heaters crap out on me after less than 1 year. I have used at least 25 Ebo Jager heaters over the years, not a single failure...they are the $hit.

Extra thick glass too...never had one break.
 
I use jager and stealth, never had problem with jager in over 5 years but new to stealth. A temp controller is the way to go if you got a few bucks laying around
 
If you want to sleep well at night, add a ranco controller to whatever heater you like. When a heater fails, it is usually the control mechanism and it often fails in the on position, cooking your tank.
