Heaters for 180

[Valyrian]

Would two 250 watt titanium heaters be enough for a 180 gallon tank?

a good rule is 5 watts per gallon. but i dunno if it applies to huge tanks like that

Glass or acrylic? Is the tank inside your house or garage?

I have 2 x 250w stainless steel heaters in the sump for my 220g.

The reason I went with 2 x 250's is because I could get them really cheap at the time, the temp in this tank is not critical and I will be keeping it at about 22 celsius, seeing that the tank is in my bedroom I'm hoping it wont require too much from the heaters. At the moment the weather here is so warm that if anything we have problems cooling the tank, I'm waiting for winter to see if they will be ok, I'm expecting they might struggle

quick question here.... if you have a wet/dry filter can you place a 250W heater on the filter and just leave it (its for a 180 gal) would it be enough? just wondering saving some $$$ bills on electricity

if you put em IN the wet-dry that would work

you get a quick distribution of the heat
