Planning ahead and need heater...what size heater will fit inside Aquafuge 2 HOB?

DavidinGA · 12/08/2011, 11:06 AM

I plan to add a medium or large Aquafuge 2 HOB to my tank in the fuge and was wondering what size heater will fit inside? I was going to buy a EHEIM Jager Heater as they are the most recommended but they are also the longest. My tank is a 46 gallon so I probably need what a 200w heater? A 200w Eheim heater is 15" long; is that gonna fit in a medium or large aquafuge?

It seems most other brand 200w heaters are only 12" long. Why is the Eheim so long?

Thanks

...actually I am probably suppose to run two heaters as a fail-safe huh? So I would need two 100 watt'rs for my 46 gallon.

according to the dimentions the large will fit any heater you want if this is the type your looking at. the med. should also but the long heaters may have to sit at an angle.

2 heaters I agree are better than one unless you have a temp controller like a ranco
