One or two heaters?

[sgtreef]

Hi all new here , but not to fish tanks.

Okay that out of the way.

I am setting my 126 gallon back up been down for 7 years all in the house so Silicon is good and all.

Now back to the question should I do the one heater Deal or two?

What size each and I don't want to go to no $100.00 a piece heats seen some Good ones for $35.00 A piece Jager ones at that and new.

Price is high but local, i might mail order as summer here and really won't be needing them soon really.

Thanks

Jeff

I like using two heaters. If somthing happens to one the other is there as a back up. Jager is a good heater.

I agree. Plus even if the heaters dont fail, it cuts the work each does by half. This can actually extend the life by more than you would see if you used a single, then replaced it when it finally died

Two heaters and feed them independently so if for example a fuse blows in a multi plug you don't loose both heaters, reduces the chances

What type of fish are you keeping? A single 300 watt heater will work if your tank is inside your house.

It depends on how cold your house is and what temperature you keep your tank. I need to 250 watt heaters to keep my 75 gallon tank at 77 degrees.

Just regular fish sorry guys my days I think of Piranha's, Oscars and Shovel noses is over, and yes indoors should of said 125 gallon.

I like the idea of two , never gets too cold in Ok in the last few years.

I ran two the first time, just making sure right idea.

Best run and get them coming seems like $20.00 cheaper in total local then Web.
