Heater Recomendation

tspors · 09/06/2008, 02:11 PM

I have decided to run 2 - 300watt Titanium heaters. Anyone have experience with one of these: My tank is 150g

Azoo Titanium Electronic Heaters

or

Jalli Titanium Heater

Whatever heater you buy, be sure and control them with a ranco controller. The control mechanism is the part that normally fails on heaters.

Azoo come with controller inline. Jalli is seperate (Jalli Brand). So based on your response. The titanium heater is somewhat irrelevent?

I'm tagging along with this one. I'm in the market for a fully submersible heater myself.

Runfrumu..
This was an earlier post of mine If you look about 5 pages in the heading is:
Heaters???

I live in cold and snow country to start. In October last year I upgraded my 80g to a 150g. I had all my equipment under the tank. I struggled then to keep the temperature down in the acceptable high range. I took all pumps and sumps to the basement. Now during the summer I struggled to keep the water in the low range of acceptable. I have not been running a heater (obviously). The Halides and actinics did the heating job. Now, I have installed two new 20amp circuits so I can add a few new things. So the question is, best recomendations for a heater in Oceanic 150 reef system. I would lilke to put it or them in the overflow. Recomendations please??
Thanks
