Heater Suggestion

Post by sodapopdima »

Hi, I would like to inquire from everyone their advice regarding a good suggestion for a good heater for my 16 gallon tank. I want something with a numbered temperature gauge, not just low-medium-high settings. I heard a bad review for an Aqueon Pro (50watt) from a friend which I was considering, and read about an instance of the marineland stealth exploding in a tank.

What is your opinion, what would you suggest?

I have several of these:

They work well. The only other heater I haven't had some problem with is the Eheim Jäger one - I don't buy them because they are not easily available in my area. I have some relatively cheap Hydor Theo heaters, but they don't heat to the temperature I've set them to - I set 22'C, and the tank comes out at 28'C or so. They aren't stuck on - something I've had from some, just not very accurate on temperature...

The link above is not a suggestion to buy from that company, just a reference to the show the product - you decide if you think that's a good company or not.
