Most accurate heater

Asking for proof through studies for a hobby that is not a profession is a near impossible task to accomplish.

Anecdotal evidence and popular trends is about all we have to go on around here unless the study was done for something else and then translated for our uses.

I agree. However, some ideas seem to last in this hobby without even solid anecdotal evidence. Like garlic curing ich :headwallblue: The idea that a stressed fish is more likely to contract ich is clearly valid, but there is not good evidence (anecdotal or other) that temperature fluctuations cause stress to fish. I would guess this idea comes from sellers who post a temperature somewhere in the middle of the temperatures the fish typically experience in the wild, knowing that heaters will vary significantly from that. Hobbyist then panic whenever their temperature strays from that number.
 
I thought it was just me not understanding the kids "lingo".

Well, that too old man ;)
Rekt is trash-talking for when you lose an argument, or a fight like in video games. But I mean, this isn't an argument it's a discussion of freakin aquarium equipment. So it's dumb. Like if I said I like oranges, and you were like "nah bud apples taste better to me" neither of us got rekt lol

"nogga" from their screen name doesn't really need explaining
 
Just make sure, w/ the ehiem jagers, you use a controller to control temp. I use these but the dials are inconsistent. I have one that is accurate, one that is about 5 degrees off and one that is 8 degrees off.

Did you calibrate them? That red ring moves too...

I use the Eheim Jagers typically myself also but I use a controller. It's hard to argue with BRS's findings on the Cobalts though, although they're also three times the price
