Hydor if budget allows, but both are good heaters.
I want to buy high quality heater. I have been unable to decide which heater to buy. Sud I buy eheim jäger 250 watt or hydor eth 300 watt canister filter that I can put outside the tank. So plz help me for my discus 55 gallon tank. I do want my temp to be stable at 84*
I have three hydor heaters, they are supurb. Absolutely consistent. Also, very clean, there's no ugly heater in the tank!
Eheim Jager 250
I am thinking about hydor coz it's cool to have heater outside but is it reliable like the jäger heater.

I do things my way because they work for me sorry if you disagree.
Marineland Stealth Pro , shatter Proof heaters shatter proof, fully submersible,safety shut off (out of the water - shuts off ) No glass breakage ! dual indicator light !
No doubt one of the BEST !
Lifetime Guarantee...No questions asked !

FWIW, I've used Stealths, Ebo/Eheim Jagers, discount PennPlax and any number of others over the years with about the same rate of reliability. Low-money option would be the Won heaters from Kens Fish, money-no-object would be the Eheim Jagers.

Ideally if you put them on the return line of your filter it's not an issue but if you don't do lots of filter maintenance it becomes an issue because lots of stuff will build up in them. Also from what I understand if you're using tap water it will most likely pick up lots of mineral deposits. The ones alpine was talking about are nice I know lots of people who swear by them I need to pick up a couple new heaters myself so I'll probably go with those.
If you're running a sump just put your heaters in there if you don't like having them in your tank.

Eddie, I have not used them yet , they are in the boxes. When I sent some for warranty I had the choice of getting the new style . I will post later on about how they do. .
