    For that price I would look at getting a ReefKeeper Lite (I think I saw these for $100 somewhere) and a regular heater, it will probably cost slightly more but you will get the additional functionality of having a controller.

    Those JBJ's have a controller. That's why they are so expensive.

    Finnex titanium heaters with a temp controller are a better product imo

    But it's just a thermostat, you can get the same functionality on a low end controller and get all the other stuff the controller does as well for just a few dollars more.

    Yeah, might as well buy a cheap controller and an ebay titanium heater.
