Question about heaters

[hampmp]

I can't seem to find a good guide on what how many or what kind of heaters I should get for my 75 gallon tank. Dimensions are 48x18x18 if anyone can give some advice it would be very much appreciated.

We'd still be happy to answer your question, hampmp!

We typically recommend 3-5 watts per gallon, so you'd want to opt for a 350 or 400-watt heater to accomplish temperatures in 75-80° F range. We have plenty of great options available. The digital display on Hagen's Fluval E-Series Electronic Aquarium Heaters make them a nice choice, although you'd need to get a couple to get the proper wattage.
