I use two finnexes with the inline controller and have no complaints after 2+ years. Thinking about replacing them with the non controller type; think I'll stick with finnex..
Without the in-line controller? Well they're on a inkbird connected to a apex outlet. It's triple redundant now. I'm not dead set on any particular model at the moment. The ones I have now have that plastic guard on them and I want to mount them better and don't want to pry that junk off and risk damage and it may just be time to replace anyway out of precaution? I will say I'm in no rush; it's way down on my list atm.Any reason why? If you do that you lose run away redundancy.
Run Finnex and Hygerr and both seem to last 3-4 years before needing a new element, probe, something.
It’s the only brand i use
I use the ones with the inline digital controller on smaller tanks
And for 75g and 83g tank I have the titanium stand alone heater tube with a separate controller / probe. I use the finnex external controller but there are other good brand controllers Also
800 watts? Just curious. Seems like alot to me for that amount of g's. My house is 72 in the winter and a 300 works well.I have a controller that I built. So I would get one without the in line controller.
I like the idea of redundancy, but I certainly don't need (2) 800 watt heaters in
145 gallons.
I'll probably just go with one 800 watt.
I'm a fan of finnex titaniums. Use one in my frag tank. I use a helio in my display, that's great too and has lots of extra features

But it is a critical component that you don't want to go cheap on for tank peace of mind. Mine have been perfect 3 years now. The elements are small and easy to sump fit.I'm liking the Helio, but that is very expensive.
