    Default need i gallon and info on which heaters to buy.

    Hi everyone.

    Just wanted to get some input from everyone on what brands of submersible heaters you are happy with. Also where are good places to buy them.
    some links would be greatly appreciated. I'm going to be setting a couple of 80G and quite a few 30's so I need to buy about 10 heaters. Would love to be able to get decent heaters for a good price.

    thank you for your wisdom.

    Ted

    I use the stealth heaters and they seem to work well.

    Ted, the visitherm stealth seems to be a very reliable well liked heater by the experienced fish keepers. I learned that a little too late but now have only those in all my tanks except one with a jehmco controler and two ebos.

    I have relatives who still have their jaeger heaters in their tanks after 20 years of using them. Aside from a 300W titanium that I bought used, all of my heaters are jaeger.

    I tried different heaters in the past. Always having trouble with keeping tank water stable.

    That is, untill I bought two visitherm stealth heaters. Bit more money but much better. You will save money in the long run.
