Hello all,

I am looking for recommendations on a heater for my 90 gallon aquarium with 29 gallon sump. I own an Apex Light and currently run a 300w Eheim Jager, but I have to keep it in the corner overflow since its so long. I'm looking for something that would fit in my sump thats about a foot wide, if thats possible. I also run two BRS dosing pumps on the right two outlets, and I'm not sure if the outlets are rated for a large heater.

The heater in the overflow doesn't seem all that efficient to me with the Herbie style stand pipes, but maybe I'm mistaken.

Thanks!

Finnex Deluxe Titanium Heating Tube, sence you already have the apex you have the temp controller needed for it.

Maybe 2 150w neotherm cobalt heaters in your sump.

I like both of those, but unfortunately I only have one outlet available right now for a heater, I need to buy another power bar. The Finnex looks nice, but I think I'd need another temperature sensor incase the Apex temp sensor fails.
