How strong of a heater do I need?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
3 watts per gallon will be fine if you're trying to keep it at 80F+ or 2 watts per gallon if you're trying to keep around 77-78F

Tanks covered but not the sump
Room temp around 75

Hello; With a room temp of around 75 degrees the heaters should not have to do much running unless you run the tank temps higher. 72 to 75 F is the target temp I go for during the cool season. I keep my house around 68 degrees days and 65 nights so my tank heaters have to make up the difference. At 75 degrees you mainly will need heaters in case the house heat goes down.
