Heater and controller suggestions

Can anyone recommend a good heater and or controller for temp? Hard to find something that works well and reviews online are all horrible

ranco is IMO one of the best controllers as it is ment for controlling temp only.

jager is a great heater and I have also had good luck with the Aqueon Pro heaters as well

I would suggest a Jager heater and i use a Apex JR for controlling temp. The apex is awesome. I have a small fan hooked up to cool the tank too! Neat stuff.

By the time you spend 50-60 bucks on a temp controller you could look for a used AC JR, apex jr, Reef Keeper Lite, or new apex jr/reef keeper lite and then not only controlled your temps you could control your whole tank.
