    I currently Run two Finnex HPS Digital Submersible Heaters that i purchased not to long ago they have been Keeping the temp on my 250gal right at 74-75 degrees both are controlled by my Neptune apex and one of the heaters died today. I have only been using them for 3 weeks and i do not feel like buying another and having it burn up like the first one. I am not worried about price but i would really like to know from all of you what is the best brand and type of heaters to use i will consider all possibilities any information is welcome. thank you : )

    I have always kept it simple and had good luck with Jager heaters. Ran 5 of them all on diffrent tanks with no controller for almost two years and never had issues. Currently I am running 2 250w with a RKL controller on my 125.

    Jagers are by far my favorite heaters. I've tried a dozen or so different brands and nothing competes with Jagers!

    I actually like the Finnex ones you are using.

    I bet you can get that warranty replaced.


    I also like the Jagers but they are way too long for my setup.

    Blue line heaters are pretty much indistructable so they are what I use 99% of the time
