I'm looking to buy a new heater and I'm not sure what to get. Any suggestions on a great heater?
How about a thermometer as well?

They are all pretty much the same. Avoid the "won bros" and finnex heaters. They have had some terrible quality control over the last few years.

You will find recomendations and glowing praise for every brand and model. If you look you will also find nightmare stories about every brand and model. They are all pretty much junk.

You need a temperature controller to run the heaters.

I wrote an article with more details:

Awsome write-up Bean. Thanks for the info. I am glad I almost follow each guideline given. That page should be a sticky thread.
