Hi all,

I am looking to upgrade my heater as I don't think my current one will do the trick in the winter months. I was comparing the JBJ True Temp 300w with the Finnex HMO 300w. Any suggestions? I was also looking at the neo-therm heaters, but they only have upto 200w and I am not sure if that is enough to heat 73 gallons.

Thank you,

Yury

whatever you buy you should have two, if one breaks the other will be a backup. i usually get jager heaters. I wouldnt get jbj. not sure about the other brand.

I actually have a jager now and like it, but the larger one is just so darn long that I dont know where I would put it. It is almost 20" long.
