65g-250w
110g-250w,200w

 

[Druu]

38g- 1 200w

(Had 2- 200w, but I figured that was excessive...)

 

[Bud8Fan]

300g tank + 200g sump = 500 gallons

10°F tank temp above room temp

1 - 250w titanium heater with external controller. Yes only 1.

You really do not need such powerful heaters for large tanks... I been using a 250w on a 150g and its more than perfect..
