Heater For a 45g AIO

Hey everyone,

I'm in the market for a new heater for my JBJ 45g rimless AIO. I'd prefer one with a digital readout of both the temp set and the current water temp. Any recommendations?

Since it's a 45g with no sump, think the 150w would be sufficient given water displacement with rocks, pumps, slimmer, etc?

I wouldn't mind the extra coverage of the 300w but it's also twice the price.

I use a 75watt in a 29 gallon that's plenty so I'd say 150watt would be a good size. Also factor in how low you keep the ac and heat in your house. Mine on average stays about 74.
