Heater too tall? Tideline 62

[commas]

Looking for some heater recommendations for my Tideline 62 gallon setup. I’m currently running an Eheim heater controlled by an Inkbird, but the heater feels way too tall for the tank/ layout and placement options are pretty limited.

What are you guys running on similar sized systems? Looking for something reliable, preferably a little more compact, and still compatible with the Inkbird. Bonus points for clean install pics if anyone has this setup on a Tideline 62.

Brs titanium heater with the inkbird tied into an apex would be my suggestion.

I run a pair of 300 watt ehiem into a inkbird and backed up by my apex.

I have a 200w now. But it’s angled in the back chambers and whichever one I put it in drains faster leaving the top aboht 2-3mm exposed. Looking into the brs ones now. Thanks

Yes !

Yes !

Might be a dumb question, but would the two smaller heaters need two separate ink birds?

Aquael heaters are made of plastic and about half the size of an eheim heater. I bought one a few months ago and I've been happy with it so far

Not sure about inkbirds, but icecap heater controllers can control two heaters. I believe TSA carries them.

IM Helios heating elements are small and the controllers can power 1 or 2 elements

No, I use a 2 outlet cord that I plug into the heater outlet on mine. I think some are even made with two plugs for the heaters.

I used to have this tank and had a similar problem. But like most others said - 2 smaller heaters, 1 inkbird.
