Heater suggestion?

Can somebody suggest a decent heater for my 55? My rena-cal stuck on, cooked my firefish and maybe my shrooms, they're kind of a necrotic purple color but might come back. temp got up to about 98 before I saw it. Any suggestions?

I am using 2 of these on my system. Great heater and so far very reliable.

I think Penn-Plax is a good one. JD

Ebo Jager all the way. Well, now its just Jager. Very reliable and accurate to .5 degrees. They are fully submersible even though it says not to immerse it past the line, it is totally waterproof. The suggestion to not fully immerse it is for the UL listing.
