hygger802 Aquarium Titanium Heater Tube Heating Element Replacement Heater Rod (Controller Excluded) (200W)

Plug and play fixed 500 watt heater. Comes with 3 prong plug for use with controller or on/off switch strip for continuous use. I use with a timer to hold 100 degree water temp.

I am a big fan of these heater rods. I breed fish and have 45 tanks that most all of them have this setup. I use these with the inkbird controllers and really like them. I will eventually replace the few heaters with these as those give up the ghost. They heat your tanks quickly and last. Once you try them you'll only want them. Thanks hygger!

I connected this to an Inkbird even though Hygger says it must be used with their controller. Works just fine for a lower price than I found for others that are made for any 3rd party external controller. I didn't want a glass surround element for fear of it shattering and always a fear I will be electrocuted when I reach my hand in the tank lol.

I’ve got mine hooked up to an Inkbird controller, zero issues with it and no temperature swings.

I’m only giving it four out of five stars because the first one failed after two years. It is sleek and works well during that time. But I would expect a little longer longevity.

Works well. Good value heating element

I think many people may be shocked if they buy this and then realize they've boiled their fish.This is not like the heaters you buy in the pet shop, where there is a thermostat built-in and it will hold that temperature for you. Nor is there a pre-set temperature on this. This thing will just keep pumping maximum heat out until the power is cut off.And that is by design.If you plug this into a standalone thermostat with submersible temperature probe, this thing is great. More accurate with that setup, and more reliable. I'm using this kind of setup to heat the sump that is filtering water for a betta barracks rack. All the fish in the rack are critically endangered species so I need trustworthy gear. This works very well, if you use them as intended.

I recieved this heater quickly, which I needed when my reef tank was down to 73 degrees. This heater Took my 150 gallon up about a degree an hour until it reached the set at temp of 77 and has held steady there!
