I'm looking at getting a titanium heater to use with my Finnex heater controller. I was curious which ones were the best for the money? I've heard tons of stories of the Finnex titanium heaters failing.

Are titanium heaters generally shorter than glass heaters? I'd like to be able to fit it in the bottom of my sump when I get it setup.

Thanks!

I run sbout ten Finnex. I have had one fail in 4 years and it was a thermostat failure.

Finnex are good. I've also had good luck with BlueLine titanium heaters.

I use whatever Jehmco sells. I've only had them less than a year but no complaints yet. And yes they are only about 12" long 400 watt
