remember you are also in the UK, so it may well be 180 US Gal but not 180 'normal' Gal.

I believe 180 US Gal is 150 Imperial Gal more or less

I use a single 250w stealth heater to heat the tank to 80 degrees and have another set at 74 degrees for backup. My tank is a 180 U.S. gallon tank which measures 72" x 24" x 25" and has an actual volume of 169 U.s. gallons

LOL!

But if u can afford it I'd get 2 300W heaters. Set one to the temp you wnat the tank to be in like say 78-80 degrees and set the other one to like 72. So the one set at 72 wont turn on unless the one set at 78-80 for some reason gets busted and doesn't work. So as your tank water chills u know it wont go below 72 cause u have the backup heater.

Great idea, thanks for the advice.
