Any have any experience with the Aqua Medic "Bio Therm" Titanium Heating Elements?

I was thinking of running these with a Tunze Temp Controller on a 150g SPS tank.

They are way shorter than an Ebo of similar wattage.

Any thoughts?

I'm running the Aqua Medic Biotherm Temperature Controller/Monitor with their 500 watt heater. Seems to work pretty well,The only maybe this as as good as it gets problem is the heater doesn't kick on until the temp drops .7-.8 degrees below the set temp. I set mine at 79 and it kicks on at 78.3-78.4 degrees.

How long have you been running it?
