Thanks

What tank do you have? I'm running a IM 10 gallon, so probably similar chamber size and I have a fluval M 50, does a good job keeping my tank at a consistent temp but I'm really only a few weeks in. No issues so far, though

Any 100 watt digital with cage, but, connected to an INKBIRD 306 dual probe wifi to protect everyone.

Run the heater, 2 degrees above what you run the INKBIRD at.

The the heater fails, INKBIRD turns it off and sends a notification to your phone.

If the INKBIRD fails, the heater will not heat more than 2 degrees higher or it turns off.

Very safe. Temp kills fast.

Thanks Uncle99 I will follow your advice

when it comes to saltwater the real answer is always titanium (ive learned this lesson the hard way)
, a single failed element can wipe the entire tank sub 24 hrs depending on whats inside it, the reliability of an outside probe where you want it checking temps and titanium is just hard to beat. as far as wattage, you wont need alot, 50-100, really depends on the ambient room temps, if ur house is a ice box go for the 100w
