Finnex 200-Watt Hang-On Digital Controller Aquarium Heater, Titanium Tube, 60 to 80-Gallon

I installed this item in my aquarium right away. It warmed the water in our 55 gallon tank fairly quickly. I was impressed.

Pros:

Visual appeal Thermometer/heater unit anyway.

Temperature is easy to read.

Heats quickly.

Keeps water temperature constant.

Cons:

Thermostat looks cheap and is hard to hide because its attached so closely to the the unit that you need to keep it close.

Programing the temperature settings is more difficult than most units.

Suction cups that hold the thermometer/heater unit are poorly made causing them to constantly lose their grip. I am continuously having to replace the suction cups to the inside of the tank.

Over all the unit works as I need it to. I have a 55 gallon tank and it has no problem keeping the water at the required temperature. I purchased this unit in January and have had it now for a little over 3 months. If I have any issues I will let you know.

Finnex used to be a top brand with heaters that worked for years and years. Now the warranty only cover 180 days because if it lasts much longer you are on borrowed time.

Time to find a new brand for me. These are far too expensive to be disposable.
