Most trusted heaters?

I had my first heater malfunction this morning so now I am in the market for a new. What are the better heaters? I don't want to start a debate, but just trying to get a few ideas. I had just one 200w heater for my 55, but will go with two 100w for safe keeping. Thanks

Is yours the titanium heater with the external temperature control? I've only seen one so far

There isn't any effect on that titanium with the saltwater? I'll have to read up. I would prefer the external temperature control, better than having to reach you hand in the water.

I have never heard of any problem, but if you come across anything at all, please post it or PM me. I would be very interested to read or hear anything on it.

I do not know what brand heater I have, which is a good thing because it shows you how long ago I bought it. It is a titanium heater with an external control. I obviously recommend that type of heater.

From the details I have been reading, it describes the following:
The Won Brothers Pro-Heat IC Titanium aquarium heater has an unbreakable design made of titanium that has a chemical resistance of a very good service (no effect-excellent) against sodium chloride (NaCl) found in Saltwater.
Apparently it is made for saltwater.

Yeah I think after speaking with LionCrazz and your post above, I think I am going to seek one of these out. I like that feature, having the external control.

Hm, thanks for the info.

Well after searching far and wide for the titantium (didn't find) I had to settle for a visi-therm stealth. From what I have read this was the top ranked heater, but the feature I don't like about it is that there isn't a sensor to indicate that it is on. I like the life time warranty. Anyone else use?

You will probably be looking at a 250w heater.
