I'm setting up a 460gal. tank with a wet/dry sump and was wondering if y'all could reccomend a good brand and size of heater for this setup.
 
What will the room temperature be? you could do it with a couple 500w heaters if the room doesnt get too cold. I heat my 300g with much less.
 
Room temp. is around 72-75 or so.
Is the wattage calculation the same as having it in the tank?
 
2 300s should work mabe go 2 500s to be safe
 
azoo titaniums are good so are jagers. i always use stealths or jagers
 
Yeah, I have a few Jagers laying around here somewhere, but I thought the biggest they make is a 250w.
 
as long as the water dosen't get cold what else mater right? i say 2, 300 watt water heaters. It will keep it at room tempature(I'm talk about mild warm room tempature.) how about it?
 
jager has 300s stealths are only 250
