Best Automatic Heater ???

[zbaidy]

what do you mean by automatic? the rena heaters turn themselves on and off.

What I mean by "automatic heater" is a heater that adjusts itself and turns on or off to meet the temperature parameters set by the tank owner.

Does the Rena Smartheater do this ?

All heaters do that... They set the tank to the desired temperature and turn on and off to keep it at a steady temp.

Yes the Rena does that. Almost all heaters do. The only ones I can think of that do not are the cheap hang on the back heaters.

The ones that have a numbered temp dial make it easier to get the temp right without having to keep adjusting it after waiting for the water temp to adjust and the thermometer to read it. I have one with the numbered dial which is a Theo by Hydor which I like a lot. and then I have another forget the brand that gives no indication of temp on the dial. This was a pain to find the right temp setting. You may also consider one that has an auto off if the water drops below a certain level, I believe most do this though, but it is definitely a good safety feature to look for.
