Titanium heaters

[dino]

They look good, with external controller.

Does anyone recommend them, or am i best to stick with the old fashioned ones?

Thanks

Ive been running Weipro heaters in most of my tanks for about a year now with no probs

its all bout cost.

you can get aqua ones for cheap.

if you are using a controller, the heater thermostat can be broken, as long as it pumps out the heat, it doesn't matter.

I am using 2 old aqua ones, 1 old tronic and 4 jagers, all 300w for my new set up with a controller, works better.

having multiple heaters will never sync properly when it comes to temp. you get inefficient temp control AND waste of power.

This still doesn't make sense to me....

Where else is the heat/power going to go if not into your water?

never used them again.

I agree. People seen to have odd ideas about power/heating (and lighting)

When Ihad 4 jagers uusing their own thermostats... I found that the heaters would not turn on together and tank reps would fluctuate more.. Now using a controller.. Water heats faster during wc and temps more constant....

Maybe it's all the same result.... And different patter only perhaps...

But using cheap heaters with temp controller is fine.
