Heater for a 150g

[305phins]

What would be the best heater for a 150g ? i would like to put it in the sump which is 20g. I want one that is a good quality and reasonable price. I have bought two and they both broke on me. And do these use a lot of electricity if there always running?

x2. jager heaters are the best. i have a 150 watt in my 75g and it works great.

Do they use a lot of electricity and will if fit in a sump?

I would go with the Visi-Therm, Eheim, or Aquaen which has actually been a pleasant surprise.

The Ebo Jagers(made by Eheim) have proven to be rock solid in my experience and should last for years. The amount of electricity they use will largely depend on how cold the air temperature around the tank is. If the ambient air temperature is the same as what the heater is set at, the heater may never turn on.

My water stays at about 77 but thats summer time i want the water to stay at about 83. And how many watts would i need to heat a 150g? or will i need more then one.
