Heaters...how much?

[gatorjit]

Quick question...... I have a 75SW in Naples, FL. I am ready to get my heaters for it but I am not sure how much I need. Is 2 50W heaters (one in sump, one in tank) sufficient? Please help...

I would go for a 2 200 watt heaters. Perhaps a 150 and a 200 but for the price hey 2 200 watt Won Pro heaters.
Heck I would only us a 50 watt on a 10 gallon

First living in south FL I know it normally doesn't get too cold I would use a single 200 in the sump and that should be plenty maybe even alittle much, your mag drive will give off some heat and so will any powerheads if you use them and I recommend you do. No need to place an unsightly heater in the main tank. I use ebos in the sump and most of the time I leave them off.

I live in South FL as well, based on my tank and how often my heater kicks on I would say 1 200 would be fine. I keep a 150 on my 37 and it very rarely kicks on.
