Heater for 120 gallon

Riclat · 09/03/2007, 06:13 PM

I've got a 120 gallon with a 40g sump. Any recommendations on what size heater I should get. I was thinking about a Jager.
Also, should I use a backup?

i have two 300w in my 125 one is a back up and set at a lower temp but if you do this keep an eye on your temp if you have live stock in there

Just swapped out to 2 new Jagers, seem to work very well. I am using a 250 watt on my 100g.
