Hello everyone. I’m in the market for a new heater I prefer titanium and need something for the 150-200 gallon range. Like 400-800 watts. This heater will be for my mixing station 225 gallon containers that are 6 ft tall. I would want heater close to bottom of tank as possible so this would require a heater with at least 6 ft power cord. Finnex looks to be 5.5ft and brs looks to be 6ft long. Does anyone else know of any heaters with longer then 6 ft power cord? Thanks for any help
 
If you don't have any luck finding one with a long enough cord, just install an appropriately sized uniseal, cut the cord and pop it through the container and extend the cord. Obviously the higher up the uniseal is installed, the less pressure and decreased risk of a leak. They are pretty solid though, add some silicone for good measure.
