I would hate for that large of a heater to malfunction and cook your shrimp go as small as possible for that size tank I only run a 100w on my 180 … it runs longer but to heat the tank but I have time to react

Temporarily, maybe. Long term, no - get a smaller heater. It can still cook your tank, but you have a better chance of it not cooking it.
