where is the best place to get one of these titanium heaters?

There are a number of places. I've had good experiences w/ these guys .... Small heat - http://www.petsolutions.com/Via-Aqua-Titanium-Heaters+I16971630+C1021.aspx or BIG HEAT - http://www.petsolutions.com/Titanium-Heaters+I12516830+C1021.aspx "T"

The twin Theo heaters I placed into a 150 gallon tank refused to recognize the temperature settings and persisted in elevating the tank temperature several degress above what I had set. I would not even consider using them again.

My recommendations:

Up to 250 watts: Marineland Stealth
Up to 500 watts: Catalina Aquarium Titanium

Theos do not control temperature. The temp is a basic guideline but depends on your ambient temperature and tank size. Only a heater with a digital controller will actually regulate temperature. The Hydor heaters get a C- from me, wheras mMarineland Stealth gets a B+. I am going to try a Titanium digitally controlled heater with the Cichla and see how it goes.

I have a 50watt one of those for one of my 10g I have had it for a while and it has been working great. Plus I got it for free!
But I wouldn't recommend it heaters are very important, It can stick on on and fry your fish or fail and freeze them. I would spend a little extra for a better one like a Marineland.
