Thoughts on these double element heaters?

Looking at this one myself. You guys think 300 watts is too much for a 33 aio? Probably 28 gallons of water , don’t want it to overheat the tank, only one that delivers tomorrow via Amazon

Personally I would go with a 150w and stay closer with the 3-5 watt per gallon rule.

that rule is only good for ambient room temp at avg 70.

Great heater...and you can't beat the price.

I mean...I keep my tank inside a conditioned house... so without additional detail, I feel like that rule does make sense.

Found this one but like you said with ambient room temp should be ok .

We keep our house at 67 but tank temp without heater is 72 (no livestock of course). Due mainly from the pumps I’m sure. Thanks, I’ve heard good things about Hygger. I actually have an old titanium by finnex, I might toss in there and just be patient for the adjustable wattage one 150-300

I get it. I just want to make sure no one is frying there tank. I use an old oversized finnex for my wc mixing, and it overshoot by 5 degrees every time it kicks on.
