Well not really complicated. I think everyone is simply pointing out that if there is one place to NOT go cheap on setting up an aquarium, it is with the heater. It is the one item that can actively kill your fish if it fails.
Avoid the cheap clip on non-submersible heaters. It isn't if they will fail but WHEN they will fail. And this is usually by sticking ON and never turning off so you get to come home to cooked fish.
And not going cheap does not mean you have to spend a lot either. Ebo-Jager heaters (now owned by Eheim I believe) have always been a dependable work horse in the hobby and you can get those mail order for about $20-ish depending on the size, which is about the same price as you pay in a retail store for a cheap clip on one. The 30-gallon tank right behind me has been running the same Jager heater for about 15 years now and still going strong.
Cheers,
Patrick
