Titaniums is the way to go
Something like this: (not saying to buy this, just an example) http://cgi.ebay.com/300W-Titanium-Aq...QQcmdZViewItem But only get the wattage that you need, no reason to buy a 200W'ter if you only have a like a 30g tank.

I dont trust titaniums or stealths - i've been buzzed bad by both while working to the point that the fillings in my teeth hurt. Sacramento during the summer is the best heater I've found so far, but the friggin thing wont turn off half the year.

In a 14 gallon cube, with cover closed, pumps running, and lights 6-8 hrs a day, are you sure you need a heater?

I think pretty much any heater can shock you if it's not properly grounded. My tank used to eat me up till I figured out that one of the receptacles I was using didn't have a green ground wire hooked up. |

Yea you definitely don't need a 300 watt heater on your 14 gallon biocube. Get a 50 watt visi-therm. It's little and I've been using visitherms for years they are super reliable and precise. you can order one from drsfostersmith
