EricReefer05 Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 So my tank is almost ready for water and one of the final things I need is a heater. I have looked at a lot of different options, but still can't decide. So i thought I'd ask you guys; what heater do you think I should use on my 60 gallon cube?

Indymann99 Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 I use 2x of the cheap Via Aqua Titanium heaters... I have had good luck with them. I did have to replace 1 after 7yrs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott58 Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 I use a Finnex HMX I got from Premium. I run two for redundancy and they are controlled by my controller. I use a Finnex HMA to warm my water before a change. Only difference is the HMX controller has a digital display vs. the HMAs dial to set the temperature. I've had them all for 1 1/2 years with no issue. I like the rubberized coating on the heating element. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsBugmaster Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 Eheim Jager Heater (one of the best out there and at a reasonable price) Finnex TH-S Series 300 Watt Titanium Heating Element (this one needs a controller to work, had mine for 6years now) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReefNewby82 Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 I personally use the cobalt neotherm. Great heaters ..digital...memory...and not hot to touch when you remove from the tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reefer82 Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 Finnex titanium is the only one I've never had an issue with. Previously I liked the Neotherm but after having one melt and burn under water I'm over them. That smell took days to completely leave the house and about 40g of water and 2lbs of carbon later I had stress inhabitants for weeks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
