[darinc]

Anyone using the above style heater? How does it preform and any recomendations? Need to get one for my 60 gallon tank for my Yellow labs and ACII

[eklikewhoa]

I like the ebo-jager(eheim)

[rmalford]

+1 on ebo-jäger find them on amazon for reasonable prices

Also, Houston Aquarium Warehouse has them locally at the right price

City Pets usually has them priced great too.

If you already have it, have it set at the desired temperature and it's on all the time, then something is wrong. You might need a stronger heater. This pretty much goes with any heater. I look at a couple of factors when purchasing a heater: wattage, how many gallons it is rated for, and the length of the heater. Ebo jäger gets you the most bang for your buck in my opinion.

looks like I need to get the Ebo Jager !!!! 200watt

They are fair priced in a lot of their equipment. And, I like to support HAW because they are close to me.

[eklikewhoa]

I like HAW too but they are really far from me. I haven't been since they switched owners but I'm not bias, just can't name drop if I haven't been there personally.

A lot of LFS around here are great whether it be livestock, hardware or just customer service.

My opinion is go big or go home. You're fish might get sick and it's easier to raise the temperature with the correct heater.

so the 200W is rated 40 - 75 gallons

30–45 gallons	150 watt
40–75 gallons	200 watt
55–100 gallons	300 watt

so with 60 gallons should I do 300 watt

[eklikewhoa]

300 should be good... always a rating to two higher imo. Indoor tanks give a lot of room for error though so either would work.

[rmalford]

I can't see why you shouldn't. It might be longer and you may have to set it in your tank slanted or horizontally.

I usually don't give advice because I'm not good at it and pretty new to the hobby but hey I had a cocktail. Cheers

In this case I would not follow "go big or go home". I usually preach it but not with this.

As fast as it can work in your favor it can go the opposite way and wreak havoc if something were to malfunction.
