What heater should I get for my 90 gallon

what heater should I get for my 90 gallon, to make it 79-80 degrees. please give me some watts. a brand would be even better

 

I would get a 200-250 watt heater either jager eheim or fluval m are the 2 I mainly use.On my bigger tanks I usually run 2 heaters{55 or larger}.Another thing to consider is how warm does it get where the tank will be.The cooler the outside is the more you will need.I also like having more watts than you should that way it doesn't have to work as hard.

 

I generally work on around 3W per Gallon or more. For the same reasons as ploopy, it doesn't have to work as hard.

I have a 100W Eheim Jager on my 18G Freshwater - massive overkill, but it was the same price as a 75 at the time. Been going strong for nearly 2 years.
I have 2 x 150W Eheim Jager on my 66G Reef tank - one is set slightly lower than the other.

My only criticism of the Eheims is their size. They are really long compared to other brands of equivalent wattage. But they can be calibrated easily, and I've never had an issue with them.

I've also had Hydor Theos, these are great because they're generally smaller than the Eheims, and very reliable (had one in my little 10G)

 

thanks guys. it can get pretty cold in the room in the winter but not much. I keep my lizard who is coldblooded without heat in here at night and he is fine. his cage doesn't go below 65. with water it will be even less of a drop +a heater so maybe 1 degree.I think I will get 1 heater to start but then get a 2nd when I get the money so it don't work to hard. how about two 200 watt heaters?

 

Good morning,

I'm currently using 5 Aqueon Pro heaters in my tanks, in the link below and these are one's I would recommend for your 90g tank:


All of mine are accurate within 1 degree. Too, these heaters have an indicator light that glows GREEN when the set temperature has been reached and it glows RED when the heater is actually heating.

For your size tank I would also suggest 2 heaters. 1 as a back up in case the other stops working for some reason.

As ken mentioned, I like the aqueon pro heaters, they were my mainstay for my tanks, however as I am getting new tanks I am trying and really enjoying the titanium heaters.

I have been buying Finnex titanium heaters from Kens fish, heres a link to the heaters I have been buying. I really like having the temp controls outside of the tank, as it makes it a lot easier to adjust temp when desired.

 

I've been very happy with an Aqueon Pro in my 40 gallon breeder. Very accurate and wasn't to expensive (bought on Amazon at least, locally they were crazy)

 

I think I will get 2 of the heaters than ken gave a link to, thanks a lot guys

 

I tend to go over the recommended wattage for heaters so that the heater won't have to work as hard to warm the water up, therefore possibly saving the life of the product!
