heaters

[jamest0o0]

I was going to get 2 of the titanium heaters without controllers because I've heard they are the most reliable as long as you hook them up to a controller. I can't seem to find them anywhere though I checked Dr. F&S and all of them are the ones with the built in controllers. Can anyone give me a site that sells the plain titanium heaters?

thanks

I dont ever remember seeing a titanium heater with a 110 plug that you can plug into a controller such as a Aquacontroller. They usually put a plug on it to make you use there controller with it. I wonder if you can splice on a wall plug and plug it into a controller though.

I typed that above and then the first page i went to i found them.

Finnex heaters are what you are looking for:

Thanks for the links, I have about a 60g system(DT, fuge, sump), is there anything less than the 300w? Seems like that's the lowest they go and I planned on getting two since most people recommend having 2 instead of 1.

No, 300w is the lowest. Most of the heaters failures are from the thermostats on them sticking on or off, so theres less risk from an on/off heating element than from a typical aquariun heater.

I use one 500w on my tank controlled by a RKE.
