But what I'd like to know is where you guys like to shop to get one? I have a 260 I will have inside with the temp at 68 in winter and 76 in summer. I will be going titanium but I have seen controllers that can power individual heaters?? Any advice would rule!! TIA, MFK
 
I got two Via aqua 350w from petsolutions for 37.99$ each. It comes with its own controller.

I've always liked the ebo-jagers and their reasonable too. They also have a 500 watt titanium for $40 and a 1000 watt titanium for $70. http://jehmco.com/html/heaters.html

I bought the titanium heaters and the ETC-1R controller from Jehmco. You can run up to 1800 watts.

I'm told that I should run two heaters as opposed to one... Do these places offer one controller that can run two individual heaters??

They can add an additional outlet on the controller for $7. I was running a 500W and a 1000W on mine.

Heres what I use http://www.rancoetc.com/

I use 3 titanium heaters, 600w each. This controller is awesome. It has a surge protector that comes out of it, and I plug all three heaters into it. The temp probe obviously into the tank. Set the controller to what temp I want, set the variance (how many degrees I will allow it to cool before it kicks the heaters back on) and let it rip. It also has a cooling option. I set mine at 87 degrees, and when it falls to 86 it kicks the heaters on. Awesome device and pretty affordable.
