Hi All,
My heater broke last night and I am using a small one in the interim to keep the temp stable in the tank.

I have about 130 gallons of water moving through my system. What is a good heater to replace it with? Who in town carries them?

I saw one on marine depot's site which was 350 watts and was completely submersible with the external dial. Does anyone know if someone in town carries these? I would like to get this replaced today so any input you guys have is appreciated.

I'd use an Ebo-Jager 200 or 250Watt (http://www.marinedepot.com/a_ht_ej.asp). Which town do you live in? If you live in Austin Aquatek carries them. I just bought one last week. I've had the 150 watt in my temp 120 and it has done a fine job at keeping the temp stable. Marine Depot's charts are for and average in all climates. In TX we should be fine with less than what they say.

I have an ebo-jager titanium with external dial that I'm not using at the moment if you want to borrow it until you can get another. I'll give you a call.

Thanks for the information guys.
I talked to brewercm and he is going to lend me a heater until I can get one in from Marine Depot.
Does anyone know about the WON Pro-Heat IC Heater 350 W 13.5 In
This is the heater I would like to get.

Geaorge, you'll have a good test run. That's exactly the one I'm brining over.
