Heaters

[stormy78]

I'm thinking of replacing my current Juwel heater (i have little faith in it at present) with another Juwel heater (I have tried other brands but they dont fir the internal bracket in the filter box well and tend to vibrate making a lot of noise). Anyway the tank is a 190L but useable water is probably closer to 170L. Should I get another 200W heater or go for a 300W? I'm sure I read somewhere that heater slightly higher specced was worth having? Any idea's ladies and gents?

i always go for a bigger heater, it doesn't need to work as hard as the smaller ones would and there's v little price difference between the 200 and 300w models in most cases

Cheers MW, I dont know if oyu have any Juwel tanks but have you or anybody else found a brand that fits snug into the Juwel bracket?
