I have a bit of a dilema ! And would like you advice please .

I'm going to show you 3 heaters i have found and would like your opinions on which to buy. So if you can vote i'd apreciate it.

1. Hagen Fluval Tronic 300 Watt Heater

2. Interpet Delta Therm 300 Watt Heater

3. Hagen Elite 300 Watt Heater

Please can you be honest and reasonable with your choices.

Thank you .

Can you please look and read the description befor you vote. Thank you .
 
personally i don't like any of them
look out for a titanium heater
lasts forever and probably not a whole lot more money
for a 180 gal tank you should have 2 heater incase one goes out

i agree, :screwy:
^ did you just read a fish book or something
 
For a 180, I would go with 2 smaller heaters, probably 250 watts each. That way, if one sticks, the fish poach slower. Likewise, if one fails, the other can keep things reasonable hopefully until the problem is noticed.

Everyone has their own favorite. Hagen is not mine, and I have had problems with every Titanium I've ever owned. Ebo Jager has only failed me once, and I'm pretty sure it was my own stupid fault that time.

However, of the 3 you mention, I would take the Tronic.

Good luck with your tank!
