WTB heater or heater suggestions.

racecaraz · 10/04/2007, 08:02 PM

I set my tank up in late spring and have not needed a heater. With it finally starting to get cooler I better get in gear. I was just about to buy one online but figured I would put this out there first.

If anyone has a spare they want to sell on the West side let me know... (further west the better).

Oh this would be for a 75 gallon.

Also wouldn't mind suggestions on what brand/model people use in case I end up ordering one.

Thanks.

I know I sometimes sound like a broken record on certain subjects but heaters and their inherent UNreliability are often taken for granted.
I would use 2 100watt heaters using a Ranco controller to turn them on and off. To some this may seem to be overkill but the first time a heater doesn't work or doesn't shut off will leave you feeling sour.
I like Stealth heaters 'cause they are plastic. 2 heaters and an Ebay single stage Ranco can be had for about $100. I wired my Ranco with a recepticle box with 2 outlets for heaters.
