Heater!!!!!

[sublime250]

Need help finding an in-line 2000k heating element that is saltwater safe and is accurate for a 600g in wall system!!

Thanks!

I think the consensus will be to go with several smaller heaters as opposed to 1 big one. That way, failure of a single unit will not be catastrophic.

You might find no need for a heater... If you are going to run as SPS tank. The heat from your pumps might be enough... I know on my 500 gal I run no heater.. Instead you might start looking for a 1HP or larger chiller....

Agreed 100%! Go for 2 heaters rather than just one. I had one 1,000 watt in the sump and it died and I had no back-up. I now run 2-500 watt heaters as there is always one unit for back-up if the other craps out on you.

i run 2 500 watt heaters.. never get a heater that is soo stong that if it craps out on you it will fry your tank...

Yep, I learned the hard way about heaters. Now I have two 500's and I use two 350's for back up.
