tuffy_rana Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 1 watt per litre is the general rule with heaters......of the cheaper and less effective variety that being said a jager 300w with comfortably do that sorta literage and i believe redlands pet centre have them at approx 55 bux......though dont quote me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve6610 Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 checked it up, and it will still only do 600lts, where as the jag 300 will do up to 1000lts, i'd personally go with the jags, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishguy23 Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 the schego, are perhaps the best aquarium heater i have ever had, all titanium, no glass to break, heat like no tomorrow and the 600 watts are only 36cm long as apposed to like 600mm for the jagers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
