Do yourself a favor and get a good brand heater..such as Eheim Jaeger
(Old EBO-Jaeger) but before you buy I would personally buy 2 heaters.
If you need say 150 watts to keep your tank in the right area, buy 2
75 watters or a 100 and a 50 watt. Setting both heaters to achieve the
desired temp will prevent overheating the tank and cooking the fish
lus if one fails and doe snot heat and temp drops its still going to
keep them warmer than none would...2 heatrs is the best way to go
unless you have a high end temp controller...its really cheap
insurance.


Good idea, thanks.
