Best Saltwater Aquarium Heater? You choose!

Whatever you use if in the tank use two under wattage units for your tank instead of one bigger unit. If one fails stuck on you will not cook the tank. If it fails off then you will still have a second heat source. I would do that regardless of using controllers which can also fail. I saw a friend cook a tank dedicated to his baby, a lion fish. Heart breaking.

My new heater is a Fluval T150 150w aquarium heater. So far its doing a much better job than my previous heaters.

Ive had more than a fair share of aquarium heaters fail. Ive had them just stop heating, ive had them stick on, ive had shattered glass in my sump.
My wife and I are finishing our basement and one room will be the fish room. My fish room will be heated, not the tanks.

I just use titanium heater of appropriate wattage hooked up to a Bayite controller.

Like many others have said I run two and they are controlled by Apex on one tank and a hydros on the other. I did use a inkbird for awhile also.

Definitely needs to be on its own controller and glass heaters are the way to go specifically Ehiem Jager

What are people's take on the Helios Heaters?

Eheim for me. I've been running them in both my fresh water and recent marine tank. My fresh water had one for 6-7 years without any issues, until I upgraded to the 600T filter, which has a heating element built in to the canister. I picked a 75W Jäger when I set up the Waterbox 20.
