Best heater for Red Sea Reefer 350?

[Joe Tyler Reefing]

Hello,

What heater do you all use on your RS Reefer 350? I just ordered one and want to buy a heater that fits perfectly in the sump. I have searched multiple forums and cannot find the answer to this question. I see that people use multiple heaters, which I am fine with, but I would like to know which brands fit without sticking out of the sump.

Please help.

Joe

I'd go with what ever one the reviews are good on and get 2 of them and a controller. All heaters fail. Best to always have 2 and have second set at a lower temp for emergency

I just got a jager 250 for my Reefer 350 and it's HUGE! I couldn't find anything online about a heater that fits best, so I just went with some solid reviews. I didn't really take sump size into account though, and while I think it will work, I know I will definitely have to replace it as it's just too big for the sump. I have it placed diagonally in the largest portion, and now I don't have much room for additional liverock or even a skimmer!

I'm going to stick with it while I cycle the tank, but I'll definitely have to swap out once things get stable.
