    agreed - 2MM thick glass - 2X as thick as most other people.

    i prefer titanium heaters. I use Finnex titanium heaters, the thermostat is out of the water so you dont have to get your hands wet to change the temp.

    *I have the digital thermostat, the only complaints is that if the power flickers or goes out, the thermostat sets itself to 80 degrees when the power comes back on and I have to set it back down to 78 again. So I would recommend just getting a manual thermostat.

    I have a Fluval E Series 300W heater. It wasn't cheap, but very easy to use, maintain, and the color coded digital read out is great.

    hmm, this looks pretty cool. I like how you can calibrate the digital thermostat. Might have to try that as my next heater. anyone have first hand experience with one?
