Heating 60 gal cube

[Capt Pugwash]

I could do with advise on the best way to heat a Cade 600 aquarium. What size would be best 200 or 300 watts and would twin smaller heaters be best ? How many watts ? It would be good to get warning emails on my phone for faults so which controllers would do it ? Ehime Heaters do a wi fi version, double controllers have digital readouts but do they send you a warning email ? Help

I generally follow the 3-5 watts per gallon rule, I usually prefer 5 watts per gallon, so 60 gallon I would go for 300 watts.

Inkbird controllers are popular in the hobby to use with heaters.

If I got 2 x 200watt heaters would that be ok ?

I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. I have a Helio
with two 100 w. I’m going to replace the heaters with two 200 w on the same Helio. I’ve upgraded to the Cade 600 S2 which is more water to heat.
