    I just bought a finnex titanium with external temp control and seperate temp probe. Its seems super acurate and the quality seems top notch. But have only been using it a couple weeks.

    I have a lil petco brand heater that gets the job done. Just don't get a stealth, otherwise I'm sure they're all pretty much the same. I've heard some bad stories about those.
