Before you choose
Put the heater where the filter’s flow passes it, so the warmth spreads, and check the temperature with a separate thermometer. A tank this size can also take two heaters of about half the watts, one at each end: if one fails, the other slows the chill, and if one sticks on, the water warms more slowly than with one large heater. How to size and place a heater.
