Heater Question

[aceer15]

Hey guys and gals,

I just started up a 40 gallon breeder and sump. The heater I purchased is too tall for the tank unless I put it on it's side which I really don't want to do. Ideally I would like to put it in the sump but the current one is too large to put there too. Does anyone know of a heater that will fit a sump and be powerful enough to heat the 40 gallon tank?

Thanks y'all

I haven't used it or seen it myself, but I do know that many many people on R2R use the Eheim Jager for sump heating. I have no experience, but it's something for you to at least look in to...

+1 on the hydor inline heater. I will never purchase a glass heater for the DT again.

How big is your sump? What are the dimensions for the space you want to place the heater in?

+1 on the Hydor in-line. Running the 300 watt on my 75 with 20 gal sump.

The supm is very small, maybe 10 gallons total, I can fit the width of a heater, my main problem is the depth of my water. All of the heater's I've seen say they need to be about 12" under water but my sump only fills up about 4-6" with water.

hydor is pretty small, and it's a solid product
