June 30, 200521 yr comment_55102 Just wondering...i saw this Hagan thermal pre-set aquarium heater 300w. Would it be too much for my 60L tank? cheers...BTW what is a pre-set heater?? thanks Report
June 30, 200521 yr comment_55107 I think you will find it won't fit into your tank 300 watt is a large heater. I have a 55L tank running on a 55W heater. I think a 150W is about what i would recommend, I had mine running on a 150W for a while and it was really good, nice stable temp. MRSkz is sending me up some 300W heaters for invercargill. They were like $10, she said there were some 150W at that price as well. There may still be some down there. Report

July 5, 200521 yr comment_55579 I run 300 watters on all my tanks, from 50-200 ltr, my only consideration is will it fit in the tank horozontaly. There is no down side, the only difference to running a smaller heater is it will heat the water faster. dee jay 01, why wouldn't you go bigger? Report
July 5, 200521 yr comment_55580 I thought the reason for not having a heater bigger than you need is that they can stick 'on'. A bigger heater will cook your fish much faster if that happened. Cheers Jude Report
July 5, 200521 yr comment_55582 I suppose that is possible but have never encountered it (crosses fingers) LOL Report

July 5, 200521 yr comment_55590 LOL - I was waiting for someone to point out that this way they wouldnt suffer as long Cheers Jude Report
