Using a 300w Finnex Titanium Heater for 25 lagoon

[fishski13]

I was wondering if there is anything wrong by using a 300watt finnex titanium heater with an inkbird controller for a 25 galloon tank. I havent had good luck using a glass eheim with an inkbird in the past so would like to stick with titanium. But the smallest titanium finnex makes is a 300 watt. Would this be fine to use in a 25 gallon tank.Thanka

There is a small, but finite possibility that your controller may fail and then you will have bouillabaisse for dinner.

I guess finnex doesn't have internal thermostat. 300 W seem big for your tank, so if inkbird fails your heater may cook your tank. As I said possibility is very low, but it exists. There has been cases described here when probe was dislodged from tank and was reading ambient room temp, leading to overheating of the aquarium.
