What or How Many Heaters for 180?

[Dr_Shakalu]

Hey guys. I'm thinking of buying my friend's 180 Gallon tank because he's moving and can't take it with him. It's empty so I will have to buy everything to set it up. My question is, how should I keep the temp. to about 80 degrees. Is there a heater with enough wattage to get it to 80 or should I get 2 heaters and at what wattage? Thanks in advance, The Doctor.

I always have a backup heater just in case one goes out or breaks!

i say 2 250w stealths will work.

a pair of 300w,something along those lines

Hey Gr8KarmaSF. I live in San Francisco too. Where do you usually go for fish and supplies?

 

[liljoe0985]

definetly agree with edwin, and they will exceed 80 degrees but it depends on the fish ur keeping to decide on your temp

i say 2 250w stealths will work.

Thanks everyone. Just came back from Petsmart with 2 250watt Stealth heaters for about $19 each from their online site. They were about $37 each at the store so I thank everyone for their advice. They also didn't have a problem matching their online price. The Doctor.
