That's were I got mine. Although the heater is a few degrees off. I mine is set at 82 and the tank is 85 but it's leaps above any heater i've owned

Are there any good 250 watt heaters for 15 bucks?

nothing that you can trust. all heaters these days are flaky but at least with jagers you have a high % of getting a good one. any budget heater is like a 75% chance it will fail. don't cheap out

If you do cheap out you should buy the lowest watt heater that will do the job. The last thing you will want is the heater to get stuck in the on position and boil your fish. I run a 200 watt on my 75s and I can get it up to 85 max, it's enough to do heat treatments for the fish if needed but not enough to kill them. My tanks are in the house but we keep the house about 66 degrees in winter too.

I looked at aqutop heater reviews. They are good heaters. They are also cheaper than most good heaters,
