I was wondering what heaters everyone has used and had good luck with?

All my heaters are Ebo Jagers.

Ebo Jagers here as well ... except for one old as dirt Wardley Longlife heater I have in a 10G that I need to retire.

I have had bad luck with Marineland twice! Second time temp went up to 90 and was still going. Wouldnt shut off. Luckily i did a water change that day and felt the warm water. Finally got a jagers seems to be the only one people don't complain about.

I use Eheim here as well. I couldn't keep my 125 at temp with just a 250w so I got another 200w and keep the 250 plugged into a temp controller (inkbird) as a little piece of mind. It's probably not needed but if both fail and stay on at the same time (1% chance of actually happening) but for $35 I like it. Plus it displays the temp digitally in .1* increments. Also has an alarm for too hot/cold, FWIW.

I've been keeping fish for 30 years and had all brands/types of heaters. Only had one issue in all those years and honestly I cannot recall the brand that it was, basically thermostat quit working and heater stayed on all the time.

Currently I am using an inline Hydor 300 watt and love it. Never will I go back to in tank heaters.

Hopefully this question isn't necessarily off topic; but if I have 2 canister filters and want to use an inline heater, is it okay to use 1 heater on one of the filters or should I have 1 heater per canister?

[SportDog]

I only run one and it works well

Thanks for the response!

I recommend the Aqueon aquarium heaters, they are the best heater for me.
