Each THD heater uses durable titanium paired with an internal industry-standard quartz sleeve for steady, consistent heat output. The THD line is your trusted standard, while the TH Series pushes the limits with extended quartz elements for maximum durability and lifespan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSafety First: High-Temp Heater Guards\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery Finnex TH and THD heater comes equipped with a high-temperature protective heater guard. These guards create a vital barrier that prevents fish, plants, and corals from making direct contact with the hot tube surface. This reduces accidental burns or injuries, especially for larger or curious species, while allowing full water flow around the heating element for even, stable temperature control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow the TH and THD Compare\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth series use premium titanium for unmatched corrosion resistance and performance. The THD matches industry standards with an internal quartz sleeve and compact tube. The TH Series steps up with a thicker diameter and longer heating tube, giving greater surface area for stable heat distribution and lower cycling stress — which means longer life and greater reliability. When choosing Finnex, you know the THD is built to outperform standard glass heaters, while the TH is the go-to for demanding aquarists who expect the best.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVoltage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAmps\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDiameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLength\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVolume\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTHD-300S*\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e120V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.7A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.62\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12.5\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40–80 Gal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTHD-500S\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e120V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.5A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.62\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12.5\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e70–125 Gal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTHD-700S\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e120V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.3A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.74\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13.75\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e110–200 Gal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eATTENTION APEX USERS:\u003c\/strong\u003e  Note, if pairing our controlled heater series with an Apex controller, users must set the Finnex controller at their desired temperature and the Apex a degree higher for secondary protection.  This is to avoid damaging power spikes and unneeded relay stress on both the Finnex controller and Apex power bar components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Finnex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67797971337512,"sku":"FXES500","price":43.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1010\/6293\/4824\/files\/finnex_deluxe_titanium_tube_heating_element_3_1.png?v=1790886254","url":"https:\/\/bubbleflowaquatix.com\/products\/finnex-slim-profile-500w-titanium-heater-element-thd-500s","provider":"Bubble Flow Aquatix","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
