300g heater recommendation

[Sethjamto]

I have this posted in the equipment section also, but thought I might be quicker help here...

I starting to finally fill my 300g that I've been working FOREVER on!

With that.....I need a heater. What do ya'll recommend for a heater, both brand and wattage? I'll be running a Reef Angel controller if that makes a difference, as I know some heaters need a temperature controller and others don't. My house stays a constant 71 degrees, I'll be running LED's, and a Reeflo Dart return along with (2) Jebao WP-60's, so not much to add heat to the tank.

I want to buy online today so it'll be here by the weekend when I need it.

thoughts?

thanks in advance!

I went with Finnex Titanium on a Ranco controller. I would use multiple heaters to get the wattage you need vs. 1 large one. This will keep your tank from frying or freezing if something breaks.

I also went with Finnix Titaniums, I use a custom controller but the Ranco is industry standard.

+1 on the multiple smaller heaters versus one large heater.

Given my tank, what wattage is recommended? Like I said in my OP, I keep the room a constant 71 degrees.

Alabama doesn't get very cold does it? Perhaps a couple 300 watt heaters.

I can get cold, but I always maintain the temp inside the house. I'm thinking two 300 watters as well.

What are the better ones that can be fully submerged?

Finnex titanium or Eheim-Jager have been my choices.
