I have 4 eheim jager 300 watt heaters. Of those 4 it appears 2 are lightly faulty and place ambient volts in my tank. I'm starting this thread to inquire about what might potentially be the best heater brands on the market.

I've lost more fish in my life to heater related disasters than any disease or other equipment failure... I've lost hundreds of fish in the last 15 years to heaters dying, heaters overheating, heaters burning up and emitting toxic fumes into the tank and poisoning the fish, heaters cracking and electrocuting fish because there was a funky ground on the tank that put current through the main swimming real-estate... the list goes on.

I'm reaching out to the aquarists out there who have lots of experience in this department as I look to replace my heaters.
 
Viaaqua titanium heaters FTW.

Check em out on ebay.

My fluval ones work very well.. and like, $27 for the 300w
 
I've used Via Aqua, Jager and Jebo heaters. The Via Aqua and Jager worked fine, but I did have 1 Jebo heater that stopped working.

Is your electrical outlet grounded and connected to a power surge protector? That might be the problem if you're always having issues with your heaters.

typically yes all my tanks are plugged into a power surge protetor or a GFCI.
