Which heater should I get?

[Khackman]

I'm currently using two cheap heaters in the very cramped sump of my 125g Salt Reef Tank. I'm looking for something of good quality that is compact enough for my limited space. Any suggestions? I'm tired of buying cheap heaters over and over.

Eheim heaters haven't failed me yet. A little confusing at first to calibrate, but there's videos on YouTube that explains it.

The Finnex titanium heating tubes are very reliable and shorter than a lot of other heaters. They just need to be plugged into a controller since they don't have a built in thermostat. I run a 300 watt one that is only about 10" long.

Is 300W enough for a 125?

No, you'd need a larger wattage one. Or you'd have to run a couple.

For eheim: yes, the 300w is rated from 150-250 I think.
For finnex: I can't tell you

Run a few smaller heaters so if one stops working your whole tank won't die

Thanks for all the suggestions, everyone! I guess I'll read that other thread, and go shopping.
