Lets talk heaters, what are you using what do you like or dislike about them.
I will start with my set ups.
300 gallon with two SERA 250watt
Like: Small and compact, heater guard included, no problem keeping the large tank heated
Dislike: After a few years seeing water/fog inside but still running
65B with 300w Fluval E Series
Like: Modern looking, heater guard, accurate... sort of, see dislike, exceptional suction cups
Dislike: Heater guard prevents proper reading and can sometimes make it so heater will not heat if it does not have good circulation. Tried two 300w in the 300g and it would not get temps up or keep them.
65B with 250w Aqueon pro
Like: Good looking, unbreakable heater, Good warranty that I have had to use now
Dislike: one unit has died in about a year and a half of use. No issue with warranty and they sent out a replacement. Question long term life span, already seeing jacket on cord by heater in the water looking like it has got too warm and seeing little pin holes in the cover
lets hear about what your using or like the look of when it comes to heaters
