I need a new heater

I've had this cheap Wal-Mart heater for 3-4 years now and after seeing a few recent stories of heaters exploding or sticking, I have come to the realization that I am now on borrowed time. I want to be proactive and prevent an issue.

What is the best bang for my buck? I was looking at the 75 watt Eheim Jager TruTemp heater. It seems reasonably priced.

 

Couple options:

I just bought 2 Jagers for my setup. I used to use them on my fresh water setups and never had any issues.

 

I use the Finnex from BRS. it's a great heater so far with a great price. Got two that are still running strong. And the thermometer is pretty accurate as well.

 

I have been using the Via Aqua Titanium heaters for years and been very happy with them. They have a separate controller that is very accurate and a separate temp sensor so it can be placed away from the heater for more accurate temperature sensing.

 

i am using an aqueon and love it. Has the light indicating if its in use or not and really easy to set. Never had an issue, knock on wood

 

Finnex, Jager, Cobalt, and be sure to run it on a controller.

 

I would go with Jager or Cobalt. I love my Cobalt neotherm that I added to my 20 gallon, well worth the $.
