Good morning. Going the cheap route isn't always better when it comes to fish keeping. I'm sure you've heard the saying you get what you pay for. When heating is concerned I wouldn't skimp on the price so to speak. Chose the one that you can best afford and go from there.

Marrineland has a great guarantee on stealth heater.

There are a lot of bits of equipment that I'm willing to go cheap on. Not heaters. I've had a betta die from a cheap heater going overboard, and there have been numerous similar stories on Fishlore over the years.

I've also had a heater fry a tank. Unfortunately, it was a brand name, but I do agree that it is not the item to cheap out on.
