Is titanium heater for SW good?

pdkinsel · 11/19/2006, 10:58 AM

I need to put a heater in my sump. Are titanium heaters as good as or better than glass for saltwater or is there a better heater to use?

Thank you.

Titanium is one of two metals that do not corrode in saltwater. They are fine.

I have used a titanium heater for a while and it the best heater I have ever used. Plus I dont have to worry about it breaking like glass ones.

Whew! You scared me for a minute there. Both of the heaters in my [marine] tank are titanium!
