After reading a thread by stormomi about heaters it got me thinking that i should replace mine soon. At the moment i have two glass 300w heaters and a tank of growing cichilds. I have read about large cichilds attacking heaters in their tanks and figure it is only a matter of time before i have a broken heater in my tank.
A while ago when i was browsing fish web sites i came across these www.championlighting.com/product.php?productid=28136&cat=0&page=1
I posted on a different thread but have decided to start another thread hoping to get a better advice about these heaters as i am thinking of replacing my heaters for them.
I have read that most people here use stealth heaters but i haven't read about people using in-line heaters before. I would like to get some feedback from people who have used these heaters before if possible but any feedback is good.
 
I've never used one, but if you've already got a canister or pump to power it, I would say go for it. I tend to use sumps for my larger tanks so I put the heaters there.
 
There are quite a few people over on simplydiscus that use them in their discus tanks and love them. Nice to get another piece of equipment out of the tank as well!
 
They have a good reputation, as do Visitherm Stealth (cheaper, but in-tank) heaters.
 
That's the exact same heater I am using, Hydor ETH 300W. I have two. One on my 75G coming off my Eheim 2028 filter. The other is on my 220G coming off my Eheim 2260 filter. I absolutely love them. No clutter in tank or danger of fish breaking them.

Check around to compare prices though. I've had mine about 3 years.
