Question about heaters

So I know this seems pretty basic, but I am in the process of setting up my tank and want a new heater. In looking around, there seems to be a quite a variety of brands and price points. Any advice on choosing a heater or brands you guys like?

 

Whatever you choose, run 2.

 

Yeah, this will actually be the 2nd heater for the tank. The tank used to be my dad's and he has a 300w heater for it (125g tank) and I wanted to get another 300w to go with it. Can't match up the brand as it is older and not sure what kind it is.

 

EHEIM Jaeger Precision aquarium heater 300W
These heaters are fantastic! I was using a 200w for one of my tanks in the past! These keep the water temp right where you set it at. And they last a LONG time! Well built! Had mine for years and never once had any problem with it! I highly suggest this kind of heater! good Luck!

 

I have the new Fluval E series. Like ithas a nice temp display and keeps the temp within 1.5 degrees of whatever I set it at. I have it set at 79 and the tank usually varies between 78-79.5 but I only run 1 heater. Only complaint is it seems to take a long time to heat up water that is already cold> I had water sitting for a WC that cooled to 60degrees abd it took forever to bring it back up to temp.

 

Thanks guys. I went with the Eiheim. Hopefully I like it!
