Hi Clownreef,
I used the biotherm heating element in conjuction with my Ranco controller. I liked it for a few months but even the titanium heating elements will rust. That is the one reason I dumped mine and had to replace with a stupid Ehiem Jager heater. If they are left in the water long term the corrosion can lead to some serious problems including electrocution!!! Marc |

as far as the best heater out there, I myself have not found it yet. They all have there issues. Won Pros heats can cook your fish, Ehiem ebo jagers can stick on, thats why I use them with the Ranco. And of course the Hydor Theo heater. So light it floats on the surface of the water! LOL!!! Why would a manufacturer design a heater and allow it to float!!!!!!! Your best bet is to use a Ranco controller and a Jager heater to heat your tank. Sometimes in this industry you have to do a lot of research and improvise.
