Good heaters?
Any suggestions for a good heater that has the safe-guard so it won't fry your tank if it short circuits? I'd like to put it into my sump so the smaller the footprint the better.
90 gallon display with 20 gallon sump Thanks! |

If you have space and money, I'd get two Eheim Jager heaters (each rated at half your need) and hook them up to a controller. Otherwise, the JBJ Tru-Temp titanium heater works well too.

Never trust a hobby heater. Try and use multiple heaters and power them off a reef controller like Apex or even cheaper and better, a Ranco controller.

My Reef keeper 1 temp just went out last week lucky I did not have a chiller it was reading 126 degrees. So things happen in this hobby.
