Beets82 Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Here's a couple of pics of my 300w :evil: sunsun :evil: heater that i had running for 2 weeks. - A picture paints 1000 words. yep all that carbonated gunk is on the inside...... The thermostat was so bad, I set it to 24 and it would heat up to 28 then turnoff at 25. :nilly: I am still going to hang onto and will probably just use it heat up water for water changes in winter I went in to HFF to buy a 300w Jager but they are like 50cm, my sump is only 39cm wide, I cant even get one in on a angle so I will have to buy 2 x smaller ones. I also noticed that the 300w Jager is $10 cheaper in the HFF website than in Mt Roskill store. Which HFF store dispatches the orders from their website? Is one store cheaper? I have a Juwel and a Aquaone heater that have been running fine for a couple of years now but think now i will go for a Jager for my African tank they are a bit more valued than the Neons, Danios et al in my community tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beets82 Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Thanks for directly answering my question. http://www.hollywoodfishfarm.co.nz/cont ... tions/m/0/ Please read that.[/quote I read it. And the answer is "Please note prices on the website do not reflect the exact pricing in either of our 2 branches, both stores are individually managed and though all care is taken to ensure pricing on all products is the same this my differ from time to time." I remember how much easier my job was when I only managed 1 glass house property, these days I manage 2, so I Know where you are coming from. Anyways I will put my money where my mouth is come in when I get them time cos I think I wan't 2x150w and the price from them is not on your website, unless you want to PM me with a good deal for 2 and then It will save me a trip. I think your shop is great, and always get great advice and great fish and products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshlikesfish Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 I think this is funny as I have an old master Pet one here which I have had for about 4 years. (I kid you not) and it is still going strong. I am def not saying they are a good heater but it is one I bought a long time ago when I had no other option at the time and it is used on one of my small planted tanks. I am not sure about the temp, whether it is accurate or not, as it is in my fish room and I dont have a thermometer in the tank. I wouldnt buy another but I thought I would just mention it. :lol: I have had a lot of success with Aqua One heaters. Just saw this. Mine cracked when I turned it on after correctly submerging it in 20 degree water Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GZ_Loach Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Jager heaters put out more heat than other brand heaters for the same wattage, so in that case instead of buying two crappy branded heaters you can get a high quality heater for almost the same price.

Luke* Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 recently bought a 200w jager from HFF and it's going awesome! holding the temp really well accurately which i've never found with the aqua ones i had previously. also these have a feature where if they run dry, they'll automatically turn off.. that puts my mind at ease overnight/while away. definitely worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
