This is true. It always a great idea to have two hooked up just incase one fails during cold months as well. $22! That's a steal. Might buy a couple myself.

A 300 watt inline heater is more than enough to heat the tank. The water coming out of the output of the fx5 will be whatever temperature you set it at therefore heating the tank evenly and efficiently. I would however keep a 300 watt submergible heater in the tank set a few degrees lower than the inline heater in case of failure. I would keep it set lower so it stays off until it's actually needed.

Hydor are good for a lot more than 80 gallons. And for some reason, with these inline heaters, the WPG goes out the window. A 300 watt will heat a 265 gallon tank just fine. Even if you need to warm it up for ich.
Never said it wont heat it up but what life lose might happen from over working it I would be worried about, these things are about 60.00 and personally I would want one to last for 10 years at that rate. I can buy allot of other heaters for that cost. Also the inline are a nice idea but we all don't have setups that are able to set something like that up easy. I am just saying from my experience with large tanks and basements and non basements, and burning out heaters. A single 300 watt would never be a thought in my mind for something larger than 150 gallons.
