Best Aquarium Heater

[Slim2634]

I need to buy an additional aquarium heater for my 75 gallon and I wanted to know what everyone is using? I tried to go off of Amazon's reviews and based on that they all suck lol. I believe I'll need two more 150 watt heaters. Right now I'm using a Eheim heater and have always had great luck with Hydro Theos but the ratings are poor. What is everyone using these days?

I use hidom heaters, cheap and do the job I just replace all heaters every 18 month to me it's not worth waiting for them to pack up or malfunction.

I have Eheim Jager in all my tanks. They have been reliable for me.

+1. I like to use a temperature controller as well for peace of mind regardless of brand of heater.

Same for me as well.

Same for me as well.

Absolutely. Won't run a tank without one.

Makes me feel better running the Eheim. I'll go ahead and take advantage of Petsmart's sale and order another one.

I always tell everyone heaters are like a car even the best of the best will eventually break down with time. That being said eheim are one of the best. 11 years running for me but mine is a ebo jager which was bought out by eheim later on. Not sure how the new ones are but the old school ones are great.

I keep aquatop and aqueon pro as well. Good reviews. Never had an issue. I even have a god damn tetra old school one thats been good for at least 7 years.

Running a separate temp controller will make any heater last many years, what kills heaters is using them with their internal thermostats. I've had more jagger heaters bite the dust running them alone vs any cheap heater on a ranco controller.
