Go to heaters these days?

[Hart1985]

Hey everyone just wanted to pick people's brains about heaters.
Looking to heat 2750ltrs I've been looking at online heaters but have decided maybe easier to just put heaters in the outside chamber of the easy pod and use a thermostat control.
I always used eheim in the past what's the .ost reliable to date?

I still use nothing except Eheim Jagers and I don’t foresee tha ever changing. I’ve never had one stick on or explode. Some of you remember the Stealth heater debacle 15 years ago, this one blew out the back of my 220 in the overflow killing the fish and my hardwood floors. Marineland came out to inspect the damage and wrote me a sizable check. Since that day Eheim is the only one I’ve ever used.

Seems a lot of people have switched to Titanium heaters with temperature controllers. I used to use the Marineland Stealth heaters. I was lucky and never had an issue with them. They ran well for about 5-7 years. Don't know what they changed, but noticed a lot of complaints about 4-5 years after they came out and then they finally discontinued them. I ended up switching to the Ttanium heaters with temperature controllers I use the JBJ brand, but seems that they've been discontinued a couple of years ago, but they're still going strong. Almost all the heaters I use are discontinued but still doing good. I also have a couple of the Hydro Inline Heaters on a couple of my tanks. I also have 1 Eheim. I've had issues with Eheim in the past, but gave it another shot and this one seems to be holding. I know a lot of people swear by them, but they didn't preform as well as the Sealths I had.

I don't routinely use heaters. The majority of my fish do fine at room temperatures.

I do keep several Eheim / Jager heaters in storage just in case of emergencies. They have been very reliable over the decades.

If I had the need to run heaters 24/7 or kept tank buster fish with the potential to break a traditional glass heater, Titanium would be the way to go.

I used to say just Jagers, but probably the last 10 years every time I've had a heater die, no where has any. So I just buy aquaones. I have an inline one now though, which seems to be fine.

I have them run off an inkbird as a high temp cutoff(All my heaters ever have failed cold), so I'm kind of inclined to say get an inkbird or similar and then get the cheapest highest capacity heaters you can.
