Hi all,
I'm getting ready to buy heaters for my 150g/40g sump which will be controlled (along with my chiller) by a Profilux 4 controller.
We live in Arizona, so in the summer we keep the house around 82F degrees (hello AC and chiller). In the winter we keep the house around 75/76F degrees.
I was going to go with 2x Eheim Jaeger 250w heaters, one in the sump, one in the tank. But they are so long I was thinking of going with a 200w in the sump and a 250w in the DT. My lights are 3x Kessil a360we.
I have two questions:
1. Is 450W enough to do the job for me?
2. Do the heaters have to match in wattage in order to heat correctly?
Thanks,
J
