It needs to be reasonable in price and needs to give long lasting reliable service.

Do either of these match the description above?

jagger Eheim

vis-therm marineland


Or any others that can be bought at petsmart!

Stealth Visitherm from Petsmart and price match the thing! $20.99 for the 250 watt and the things rock. I use them in all my tanks and I won't ever buy anything else!!!

Both are good heaters. I prefer the jagers. I run jagers in all my tank except my sons 2.5 gallon tank.

I've always used Jager but am making the switch to Stealth for the simple reason that Jagers are HUGE.
