Ok, heres my situation. My turtle (male murray shortneck) is currently in a 4ft x 15 inch x 18 inch tank which is pretty mcuh full to the brim. As its getting cooler, I need a heater and am pretty sure I need a 300watt for the tank (technically a 250watt would do, but cant find many 250watts)
I've narrowed it down to two possible heaters, but I have no experience with either brand and would like to know if any of you guys have had good/bad luck with either, if one is better than the other etc keeping in mind that its for a turtle which may batter the heater around a bit more than a fish would lol.

Also in the holidays (18 days left i believe!) i will be going home (at townsville.. home is brissie) and setting up turts new tank; 118 gallons (4ft x 2ft x 2ft tank) and think ill need a total of about 600watts to heat it in winter, so will be using two smaller heaters to get teh combined 600watts. whichever heater I buy now will therefore also be used in the larger tank combined with a second 300W heater.
