eheim Jager 300 heater watts in 120 gallons

[reefkeeperCOL]

hi, I just bought an eheim Jager 300 watts, I was wondering if it is too much watts for my water volume? I am setting it up in the sump with a inkbird temp controller. should I change it for a 200 watts heater?

I used the same heater in my 139 gal total system. It worked very well, I think you will be happy with that size.

Do you have a corner overflow? I have the same heater and I put it in the corner overflow with no problem

My sump is Huuuge, or at least just big enough for that heater to fit.
Now I'm using it in my 100 gal. vertical salt water mixing/storage tank.

I'm currently using 2 of the Aqueon Pro 250w heaters controlled with an Apex.
1 is set a little higher temp than the other so the second one acts as a backup.
They fit much better and are armored/coated.

I have a center overflow. I will try to fit it there. thanks
