What are the best heaters that you have used? I had a fluval 200W that was producing electrical current through my water and got my hand so I would prefer NOT to go with this one. Luckily I didn't have fish in my tank yet! Any suggestions?

eheim jager. they always recommend to unplug or turn things off before you stick your hand in the water -
i use aqueon stealth 200w... it works for me... i had a ehiem jager that one works good too... if you want to avoid getting shocked make a ground probe or buy one...20L nano saltwater tank- (In Progress)

I don't know what ya'll are talking about? A heater shouldn't send current through the water...if it does it is broken. Usually Eheim Jager makes good products, that is what I use and I've never had any problems.Originally posted by cu0ngsayz View Post"I think that God, in creating man, somewhat overestimated his ability." -Oscar WildeComment

Stray voltage is bad, a lot of it is worse.
I agree with Sasha, a heater sending out enough stray voltage for you to feel it probably should be replaced.
I like the eheim jagger, also really like the aqueon pro and think I like them the best.700g Mini-Monster tankComment

i've never had problems with Eheim Jager. i use them on all my tanks. if any component is sending noticeable current through the water, it needs to be chucked in trash bin.
fish don't feel it as much because it does not pass through them. it passes through humans because we're grounded.Comment

i have always used eheim / ebo-jager and they are good. I also have an inline Hydor ETH that seems to be doing well. all glass heaters are still pretty fragile tho so i would buy unbreakable titanium or more inlines the next time i need some.75G Standard - High Light Planted Community Fish

The probe itself will not hurt the fish... But when the equips gets worst then that becomes a problem... You make the probe out of surgical steel rod so it wont rust... If I have time I will take a picture of the probe I made..

What are the facts? Again and again and again--what are the facts? Shun wishful thinking, ignore devine revelation, forget what "the stars foretell", avoid opinion, care not what the neighbors think, never mind the unguessable "verdict of history"--what are the facts, and to how many decimal places? You pilot always into an unknown future; facts are your only clue.

Another endorsement for ebo-jager...
