Need Maintenance Heater... Recommendations?

JohnnyHildo · 08/09/2016, 10:46 AM

i run 2 ehiem-jager 200w heaters in my 120g and they work great so i'm good there.
however, after finally breaking the heater i use for my water changes i'm looking to replace it with a very tough submersible heater. my main concerns are durability and that it heats water fast.
any and all recommendations welcome

Check out the aqueon pro heater, they seem to be pretty tough, and a maintenance heater tends to get kicked around a little.

yea... mine got knocked around and the bottom shattered.
after looking around a bit i'm considering that heater, the cobalt or the fluval but am not settled on anything yet.
i appreciate the response.

I have a 300W non-pro Aqueon and it works good for mixing water. They are glass but have rubber on the bottom to help keep from banging around.

Another vote for the aqueon pro..
They are my favorite and are very tough/durable/cheap/reliable,etc....
About the only thing from Aqueon that I even remotely like/would recommend..
