I was thinking of the 800W model.
Good or bad.
Comments?

I'm using my backup now. I got home from work and seen condensation in my visa therm.

If no one responds here I'd call pet solutions and ask who the manufacturer is then research them. I've read a number of reviews about certain manufactures of titanium heaters that crap out fast because of junk controllers.

I have one of those...they require a seperate controler to work. The controler on ours failed ater about a year. Personally I'd much rather spend the money on a good in'line heater and keep it out of the tank alltogether.

^ lol 3 out of ten
actually for that price it doesnt really matter if they last long <100$ for 800w is pretty good even if it is for 6 months
although if u can go with something of better quality

but $100 for instability? Me no like. we did use these titanium heaters that came in red boxes.. forgot what they were called though

i got a titanium heater that came with my tank and it didnt work. the guy i got the setup from said it worked when it was setup, which was only about a month before that. they are junk in my opinion

WOW, glad I asked first. I guess I will just stick with the Visa therm.

I agree.....they are junk. We went through 4 controllers. All cracked in under two months and stopped working. We switched to Bio-Therm's by Aqua medic. A little more expensive, but they've been running over a year with no problems. We've got the Bio-Therms on our online store if you can't find them locally.
