Finnex heaters

anyone have an opinion on them? i dident bother searching, as opinions on equipment can change.

i bought a 500w titanium for my pond tonight in an emergency, after finding out one of my 300w had taken a dump on me, and my pond temp was dropping. Id like to buy another 1000w if they turn out to be good heaters

ive researched them in the past, and found they were total crap. no personal experience though.

i really hope someone has something good to say, lol.

the thing brought ~1000g of water from 72* to 75* in 12 hours so far. considering its only a 500w, i think thats pretty damn good.

I think they're okay, but I only had the couple that I have for about a half a year. They are inexpensive, but the heater part is quality made. The controller not so quality (in feel- seems to work okay), but its cheap and easily replaceable.

I use a Finnex 300 Watt Titanium Heater & Digital Controller in my sump. I have had no issue with them to date. Controller is a couple of degrees off , but not enought to make a difference.
BTW it replaced a marineland stealth which I feel are crap.

The one I really like is the Hydor inline, hook them up to my canisters on the output . That way the bigger fish cannot use them for toys.
