Heaters

[ROLLIN]

Im getting a new heater soon from www.bigalsonline.com
Here are the ones Im looking at: tronic 100w, rena cal top light 100w, marineland dual temp 100w. What are your experiences with these heaters? Id like to know which is the best of the 3, I think Im leaning toward the marineland one, but not sure.

Tronics are highly regarded and would be a safe choice.

I think the Marineland heaters are new enough that not many people have experience with them. I personally don't like the idea of having only two temp settings.

I have had bad luck with the Rena heaters and won't buy any more. I think they're nowhere near as good as, say, the Tronics or Ebo Jagers.

HTH,
Jim

Everyone is going to say troinc or ebo-jager. I have two tronic 200 watts. They are great. Very high quality and work incredibly well. Can't go wrong with them.

Agreed, I would go with the Tronic out of that list. I also personally like the Visi-Therms.

I use ebo-jager heaters in my oscar tank,the glass is 2mm thick and is harder for the oscar to break.I have also used tronic heaters in other tanks with good results.

I went with the tronic.

After a bit of a mix up with my order (didnt order just a heater), Im getting an ebo-jager. One of the items I ordered wasnt instock so I put the money from that item onto the ebo-jager. It was $6 or so more than the tronic. Should be here any day now.

ROLLIN, either heater, I think is a good choice.... I'm slightly on the Ebo side of heaters.

My Tronic got a leak just 2 days after I installed it. Piece of crap.
