Canister Filter Questions?

Forgot to mention the sump part lol it will have 2 -3 sumps

Since you are talking about getting a 300 gallon tank, I would recommend installing a sump on that beast. With a sump you could get excellent filtration, and you can add a titanium heater with an external thermostat that would be easy to adjust and never seen.

I have also heard the heat units go bad pretty fast with the Eheims. Either do what the others say and get an inline heater with a Jager heater or something comparable with a canister filter if you don't want to run the sump.

If you've got a sump, then I wouldn't bother with a heater in the canister. Just buy a couple of ebo jäger 300 watters and put them in the sump. Thermal canisters are pretty expensive and have gotten some mixed reviews. Save your money

You could always buy an inline heater, for example, Hydor ETH. I did that rather than buy a thermal canister filter.

+1.... I use one and love it.
