Heaters.... Finnex Titanium?

Jeff000 · 02/13/2014, 05:35 PM

Well my 800w heater bit the dust and I am using a pair of 250w heaters now, and they are just not cutting it.

I am looking at the Finnex 500w heaters, go for two of them this time incase one dies. I can get both heaters for about 80 bucks, or two 800w for 100 bucks.

I have about 400g of water volume.

Are Finnex an ok brand to use? I have a controller to control them. And dual 500's or dual 800's?

Ive been using the 500 watt version for 2 years now and they work great, i would do the 2 500's though, for some reason the 800s are the only ones to get bad reviews.

Great to hear. I just looked at my dead one, and it's a Finnex, about a year old.
