As far as I know, the Hydor ETH comes in two models only - 200W and 300W. For a 55G, the 200W version would be ideal. These heaters go in the return line from the canister to the tank - presumably to limit their exposure to dirt. These are very reliable heaters. I've had mine for several years now, and so far no problem.
Quick Heater Question
I was referred to get an inline heater for my 55 gallon tank. So I will be getting the Hydor ETH In Line Heater.
Is it possible to get 2 x 100w heaters and place one on the intake and one on the out take?
This way if one fails it will be less likely to overheat the tank.
Or do I just get the one 200w heater?
Thanks

Ok Thank you for the response. Ill get the 200w then.
I have a 200w on my 55. It doesn’t have any problem keeping the temp where I set it. Unless the room is extremely cold, a 300w would be overkill in my opinion.smitty said:I would go with the 300w.
When buying the heater I have an option of buying the 1/2 inch or 5/8 inch fitting.
Which one do i choose?
I have the Fluval 304 and I'm not sure if I measure the inside diameter or the outside diameter of the hose.
