Ebojager heaters I don't think they ever go bad

Funny you say that I just had one die on me and two on their last legs. both no more than 3 years old. weird too...., i just went to purchase some new ones at that fish place over the weekend and they had abig sign posted over the ebojager display that said these were not fully submersible..., which made me wonder if thats why mine died....., but when I got home my old ones (which looked exactly the same) said the exact opposite........, the old ones had the same line on them at the top of the heater that said minimum water line....., while the news ones said maximum water line..., with the line in the exact same place....., anyone know what this is about.....??

The longest lasting equipment is you yourself. If you stop maintaining the tank, whatever other equipments you have will fail.

my aquaclear 500?, has lasted for almost 6 years. excellent filter for its size and price. not sure what it was called back then,but its the 70-100gal version now.

I agree with the AquaClear 500s, I have several that are over 10 years old and they are still going strong. They are also very versatile as you can use any mdia you choose.

One of the first Rena Canisters found around here ~7-8 years ago.
Have never (knock on wood) replaced ANYTHING on it, even after sitting dry for a couple years.
I guess the "keeps going and going" slogan was already taken.
