Kerrin Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Hey all, I just bought a 200w eheim jäger for my 220l planted and I'm wondering if I've gone overboard. I know it's rated to 300-400l, but will there be and dramas in a smaller tank, or will it just have to work less? It was the smallest size they had and I needed it ASAP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firthy13 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 It will be fine. It will just be on for short periods of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerrin Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 Sweet, my current heater is set to 28, the tank is 22-23, and the heater doesn't think that's a good enough reason to turn on (it was only on 28 in an effort to force it to come on) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Link2Hell Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 the best thing is that it will get the tank to temp quickerthe worst thing is the length of Eheim heaters but .......a 300watt will fit in a 2' tank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerrin Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 Yeah they sure are long, little bit of an angle and its all sweet! Good heater, tank is at temp and for the first time I trust that the heater will do exactly what it is meant to, when its meant to do it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
