safest sps tank heater

Don't you need both a gfci for your safety? And a grounding plug for stray voltage as heaters and a lot of power heads do not have a ground.

Jäger all the way. I've had the old ones and new ones. I've had the marineland POS heater (lost my fish to this heater) and the aquaeon heater which sticks. I must say having a controller to prevent heaters sticking is a must. Also have two smaller heaters instead of one gaint over sized one is better also.

whats the most trust worthy heater out there that you guys use on your prized sps tanks

I honestly would not trust any of them.

I'm a big fan of rendundancy. Basically two controllers in series.
If one fails and sticks on, the second one (set at a higher temp) shuts off the heating element before your tank overheats.

An audible alarm that goes off when your tank temp is too high or too low is smart also.
