Heaters for my waterbox 130.4

[Michael Gray]

I have about 120g water. It has been running for a year and a half on a jager 250w heater. I'd like to maybe go titanium. The titanium heaters look to be rated far less gallons for watts compared to the jager. Also I noticed my jager is on quite a bit of time during this winter. If I got 2 heaters instead of the one. Tess more wattage. But on less time. Does it basically cancel out the cost of running it. My 250w on alot. Or maybe get 2 titaniums so it maybe heats faster and on less time. But still more wattage when it's on.

Not sure if I'm making annnny sense. But I wanna use two heaters in my profilux 4 powerbar

Since it's been a year and a half. I might just stick to jager and get two 200w heaters and see how it works

+1 on sticking another Jager in there. It's usually 2.5- 5 watts per gallon for a heater. I been running Jager heaters for years and happy with the quality and reliability.

Ya mine didn't break 1.5 years. I heard bad stories. So a reason to get titanium. But I might just do jagers again. Atleast for another year with two 200w. And see if I can tell any change on operating hours in my profilux

I wussed out and stuck to jager trutemps. I wanted to go titanium but oh well. Stuck to what I had. Let's see what two 200w do compared to my single 250w.

Jager are great heaters. I run them on all my tanks, and haven't had any issues yet with them. I ran 2 300w heaters on a 160 total water volume and it was able to keep up with the temp in winter time just fine.

From 11pm- to 10am. Heater outlet was on 6.5 hours with just the so flew 250. Hopefully 2 200s will cut it down significantly and save energy
