I got this Heater about 6 months ago after being scared from the horror stories from my Fav Stealth Heaters and thought I'd post my results...
So, I went on a search for a Titanium and found this guys.

After 6 months, its still ticking right on the money with in 2*. The only heater I have heating my 300 plus about 30-40glns of water in my 100gl Sump.

So far so good :D
Just thought id share my positive experience thus far;)

Here is a Link to the one I got with some info.
Thanks for looking!

got one too,,,,,,im real happy with it,,,always on point with temp
 
I've got a titanium heater that looks identical... Has worked perfectly for 6 months now. The only thing I would warn people is that it's easy for your fish to burn themselves on them, so using some sort of heater guard or putting them in you sump is a great idea. I lost a fish due to a bacterial/fungal infection after he burned himself on that heater, although that can easily happen with most brands of heaters. I learned the hard way.
 
i have one in my 180 along with a stealth and both work perfect so far,i would get another titanium in a heart beat.
 
I have had nightmares with every kind of heater in the world, including this one...

but this one was my own fault, or at least an understandable accident... the control unit fell into my overflow and burned out.

I have a 300w one inside my overflow in the 120g tank and it keeps it at 84 effortlessly. It has only been a few months, but still, I trust it more than any of my other heaters. By a lot.

The are on sale at F&S right now... the 300w is backordered, which is understandable given the price...

BTW, two awesome big dogs in the avatars of this thread!

Deleted, sorry didn't notice the old date on this.

No, it's cool. Glad you posted up on here or I would never have seen this. I just ordered one to replace my Pro Stealth thats been recalled. Was wondering how this would work out for me. Took my Stealth back to the store for an exchange, but they had nothing in stock over 200W that would fit into my sump. So I looked online and found this model, and it is in fact a little shorter than my P. S. so it should be no problem. Just never knew anybody who used one, so it was good to get reviews.
Thanks Oscars.
