I'm looking at heaters for my tank and the best one I've found is the WON Pro Heat II titanium heater. I'm looking at 250W for my 60 gallon cube (roughly 75-90 gallons with the sump and the 'fuge, I don't know exatly). If you have one, how do you like it, and does anyone know of a better heater?

Along those lines, my tank holds about 74° F without a heater, my opinion is that I need one. I'm open to suggestions otherwise.(I have SPS and LPS corals)

Thanks,
-Dave

I have 2 150's on my tank, the new ones with the seperate temp gauge. Tank always +/- 0.5 degree. Great heater!!!

Use two small heaters instead of one big one.

Definately do not use the AGA glass ones, mine broke apparently and cooked my tank to a brisk 92 degrees. Lost my frogspawn, bubble, acro frag, 2 huge cleaner shrimp, and 15 peppermint shrimp.

I'm now using the Visitherm stealth model.

Will third the Stealth, it's excellent and looks to be about indestructable. That being said, the titanium heaters are a little smaller/ less obtrusive due to their external electronics. I also believe in using two smaller heaters.

Thanks for the info, I think I'll go with two small titanium heaters
