What heater(s) do you like to use with your Reef angel controller?
I've gone through a few, and haven't found any I'm really excited about.

I always use Finnex titanium tubes on my tank.

+1 finnex titanium. -100 via aqua titaniums (they reset to 78 degrees on power reset and also were a degree off)

Do you use the TH-S series? It looks like there is also a TH and an HMS series.

No problems with the Finnex. You just need the tube, not one with any sort of temp control.

I use the one with the temp controller. It's good backup to have a second thermostat

True, I almost cooked my tank once when the temp probe got pulled out of the water! I was thinking about adding a second temp probe.

Second temp probe is fine but a bus lock could prevent communication to the relay box and no matter how many probes you have would still not be able to shut off the port.

Yes, that makes a lot of sense, good plan.
