Thoughts on this heater safe for aquarium?

When asking questions like this it really is essential that you at least provide the size of the aquarium.
3000w is massive amounts of energy & would likely boil any volume under 2000gal if it malfunctions.

Total water volume will be 3000ltrs maybe a 1kw version would be a better choice?
Im new to the inline heaters but they seem a better option than submersible?
Pretty much the piece toy jigsaw on my build is the heating.
The whole build has given me a huge headache at times.
What are the difference between these heaters and say a cloverleaf pond heater.
Although there is also this?
I line heaters give a more consistent temperature and are more economical to run right?
What are the cons?
I run a 500w titanium heater on a controller in the sump of my 500gal (1900L) acrylic tank. I keep steady at 75°F in my 68°F basement. It’s prolly at little under powered, but it gets the job done.
I would think the 1kW version would be suitable for your application. Of course the relative difference between the ambient & desired temps is a big part of the equation. How much beyond the room temp do you need the heater to heat the water volume?
As far as other pros & cons of inline heaters, I have no experience to offer
