Don't get the tetra heater, it sucks and breaks down really easily. Tetra brand in general is not really recommended.

I've had bad heaters from all the companies but Hydor. From them I have two 1-3g mini and a 10-20 therm, all three have been absolutely reliable.

Generally the tetra black sealed heaters are more reliable than the glass see-through ones but it's still a crap-shoot to get a reliable one.

If you end up with a penn-plax or an elite, don't submerge the head.
