I have 2 300 watt Finnex titanium heating tubes that were controlled by the Finnex HC-0810 controller. The controller went bad and I guess they do not make it any more.

Anyone know of a good controller that will run these tubes for me?

Or should I switch and get a different heating method?

Thanks

Ranco controller with a power strip.
What do the plug ends look like on the heaters?

They are just normal 3 prong plugs.

I've been using the Visi-Therm Stealth heaters for a bit now, and they seem pretty good. They're all plastic, non-breakable, and good to within 1°F. And the thermostat seems to be pretty accurate to the temperature it's set to, for a change. I've had mine set at 78° and that's right where they stay.

Of course they are not. That might destroy the world.

I would get an AquaController Jr, and ease your mind a bit.

Thanks,

I actually contacted Finnex and they are sending me a new probe for $5 so I am going to try and save some money and start there.

Thanks again!!
