Best Heater for large tank

[tclogston]

Looking for opinions on heaters for tanks 200 gallons and larger. Prefer digital controller.

I have two Finnex heaters each on separate Inkbird controllers for my 300g display. Depending on your setup the inkbird controller should work with any heater I just build in some redundancy with two.

2 500 w heaters with an inkbird is what I would do

I use multiple Ehiems 300w on Ranco.

Two or three EBJ 300s on a Ranco seconded.

Can you plug 2 heaters into the ink bird? I’ve been wondering this for a little while.. since one of the outlets say; heater and the other says chiller??

Yes, you just have to get on that has two heater ports like this this one:
Inkbird Digital Outlet Heating...

I plugged an outlet strip into the Inkbird and have 4 heaters on it.

Thanks man! I just added it to my cart! I’m going to piggy back off this thread.. any suggestions on a good heater brand to run on this controller? Total volume of approximately 165 gallons. Would like to run 2 heaters for redundancy
