Heater size will depend on the temp of your room vs the temp you want the water. But for 110G you would probably want something in the 200-300 range. Many people choose to run 2 smaller watt heaters just in case one gets stuck "on". I myself only run one heater on a controller. Any of the name brands will do the trick but i would stick to a titanium heater. Jager makes really good heaters... Im a big fan of the Neotherm heaters. |

| thanks guys. house stays around 70 degrees so would going with 2 150w heaters be good enough. Also using apex to control it. |
