Help Pick My New Heaters

[FirstContact]

My dual 300 watt Eheim Jaegers are 7 years old and are slowly dying. I was thinking of replacing them with another set of Eheim Jaegers or a couple of Finnex titaniums.

If I go with Finnex and want two, what kind of wattage do I need for 200 gallons and what kind of longetivity can I expect?

I think you answered your own question in the first sentence. I just bought two 200w jagers for a 90g build during the Black Friday sale, $24ea. Why mess with success?

Yup, the Eheim Jaegers have been very good.

Eheim here also, they are very solid. I have about eight or ten of them.

 

[FirstContact]

Looks like no reason to change.

I have used both and I have had great success with them. I don't think you would go wrong with one of those.

How long did your Finnex's run?

Jagers here too. Have several and no problems with any of them out side of maybe re-calibrating one or two.

I've used Ebo-Jager's in the past and have an Eheim Jager for my soon-to-be setup tank. The other main option from reading tons of reviews was a titanium heater (probably Finnex) with an external controller.
