300w Eheim Jager in a SCA 50gal?

[Mele__Reef]

hey gang, I have an SCA Aquariums 50 gallon and sump. Total water volume approx. 70gal w/sump. i have a 300w Eheim jager heater. Would that be to large of a heater for that size tank?

Thanks!

Yeah I think u will be fine. Not sure though. 3-5w per gallon is safe

That's what I thought. That same one came out of the 90 gallon cichlids tank I had, and temp always fluctuated 1 -1.5 degrees. @brett_schn
