Guys, help me out. I would like to use an external tank heater, of some sort, for my (hopefully) 180 planted discus tank.
I've looked at a Pentair (Lifequard) double heater module, AF-92-12, and a ETH 300 in-line heater.
My tank temperature requirements are 83-86 degees F. The ETH has a 5/8" hose connection, not a hard plumbing (PVC) pipe, which I would like to use instead of the tubing. Is anyone familiar with this heater? Would the 300 W be sufficient for a tank this size? Is there any way of using this heater with PVC pipe connections?
The Pentair does not come with a 22" heater, the size they recommend to use. Anyone able to offer suggestions on the heater wattage to use, and manufacturer of the heater for the Pentair?
Thx in advance.
Walter, the old geezer
