Heater Advice?????

[KIM_TMA]

I need to purchase brand new heaters for all of my tanks so I would like to know a durable, long lasting, acurate heater and I also need to double check what wattage for how many gallons.
I have a 5gl, 10gl, 29gl, 55gl.

The heaters that I have are just cheapos that I have purchased from WalMart and it seems like I need to buy new ones every year and this is getting old. I want some that last longer than a winter b/c I pull them out in the summer to keep from overheating my tanks, plus it gives the heaters a break.

Any advice welcomed.
Thanks in advance.

I like the vistherm stealths. They are black plastic, so less visible imo, and you set the target temperature as opposed ot having a plus and minus sign. As for size, it depends on the ambient temp of your house. I will let others chime in on that. I tend to go overkill in that area as the majority of my tanks are in the basement where it rarely reaches above 70 degrees even in the summer.

5gl, 10gl, 29gl, 55gl.

If your room temp. is between 70 and 74 degrees, then here's how it should be: 25W, 50W, 100W, 200W. Visi-Therm Stealth heaters of course.

Stealths absolutely - no question about it!! The most reliable piece of equipment I have in my entire setup.
