Advice on a heater?

[dmzAquarius]

Can anyone recommend a nice, reliable heater that will keep the water temp regulated and is easy to set? I have a 55g freshwater and my water temp often fluctuates 10 degrees or so without me even touching the thing...

250w Visi-Therm Stealth ...This is what I have in my 55g and it keeps mine at a constant 79* all the time ...... If you have a Petsmart close you can print the online page off and take it in and they will pricematch it... I gave $20.99 for mine this way as the instore price was like $35.

Oh yes....the 250w Visi-therm stealth is an amazing filter. Its the most reliable brand.

And yes, visi-therm stealth.

ansbfish, just out of curiosity...why a different recommendation for a canister?

hydor sells in line heaters. that way the its out of the tank and also getting maximum flow.
