Guide Review - Hagen Tronic Submersible Aquarium Heaters

The Tronic models are Hagen's best submersible aquarium heaters. They are built to last, with high quality electronics and heavy glass tube. Consumers report that they are very pleased with their performance, however some have found that the tubes run a bit "hot" during operation and can damage some tank critters if the optional Therma Guard is not installed on the heater. The Hagen Tronics are in the upper price range for heaters, however a majority of users indicate that they are well worth the few extra dollars.
