Need advice on the big tank

[Venom SS]

Ok Friday is the day. They are delivering the 96x36x25 friday morning to my door. My cichla are finally going to have the home that they deserve. Heres the deal...I forgot the heater . Im going to install it in the sump, you guys recommend a single 1000w with controller? Or more? Less? Any advice you guys have or links you have to trusted vendors is greatly appreciated. I made another post in the setups forum and most of them just couldnt beleive there was such a thing as a 1000w heater . If they only knew huh? they must have taken the BLUE pill .

Cant wait to get this bad boy set up. You guys will be the first to see it when it gets here!

I'm planning a similar setup and I've decided on a single 1000w titanium heater with a controller. From what I've read, these things are bullet proof with a good controller. Definetly post pics man!

Just want to make sure it can be mounted horizontal if I need it to. Anyone ever used one of these?
