This belongs in the equipment section. :)

I use Jager, and only Jager.

whatever heater you decide to get run it on some kind of controller as a fail safe I heard to many tanks being lost to heater issues

i figured id put it in here so i could ask the people with big tanks. any opinion on the hydor theo 400W. ive used marineland stealths forever. infact there are 2 250w stealths running my 150 fw tank right now. you guys make a very convincing opinion for jagers though

I went with 2 x 300 watt Fluvals and my tank is a steady 77 so far so good:)
