Yea I have the Fluval 50 watt on another tank---I guess it has worked fine so far so maybe I will step up to a 300 watt....they are like 40 bucks on Amazon. Thanks for the input!

Thanks for the input! no need for a 300w in a 60g tank. you'll do just fine with a 100 or 150. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

extreme_tooth_decay May 2, 2012 Share May 2, 2012 How about setting up a heat exchanger to capture some of the hot air around here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Country May 2, 2012 Share May 2, 2012 I just put a new Eheim 300w heater in my tank when the 500w finnex titanium failed for the 2nd time. I run a 300w (new eheim) and a 250w (very old ebo Jager) in about 250g volume of water, when the temp drops at night, when it's cold outside, my heaters go on and off quite often and don't stay on for much more than 30-45 minutes at a time so it's not bad. Anywhere between 2.5-5 watts per gallon is good, preferably split between 2 heaters just in case one fails things won't get too cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
