Which heater to go with Apex

[htjunkie]

Right now I'm using a non-controllable heater with Apex and temperature probe, I'm worried that if the power from Apex stuck ON. Wondering if I should have a regular heater with temperature controlled. This way I can set the temp a bit higher for the heater, then it will shut off if Apex outlet stuck ON.

What do you use and any suggestions for a reliable heater?

Much appreciate your help.

Just buy any heater and set it at desired temp, then set outlet to turn off if temp probe goes above desired temperature.

Zchauvin has it right. Just get any heater and set the desired temperature to 1* higher than what the apex is set at.

The other option is to purchase a temperature controller (like the Ranco). The connection would be Heater to Ranco to Apex. Set the Ranco to 1* higher than the Apex. This is how I have mine set up.

I am partial to Finnex titanium heaters, which are available with or without digital controllers. You never have to worry about the glass breaking.
