Heating 500-1000 gallon aquariums

[Steveo McNello]

I'm looking for a heating solution for my pond. I will have the quiet one 9000 pump and I'm not sure how much heat that generates, but I have been told by a few people that two 500 watters would suffice.

Hey dhjr0915- that was going to be my reply to.My pump have always kept the temp above 80.I have a 15,000 gallon tank and no heaters and it stays above 80 with a 1.5 hp pool pump.

You've just confirmed what I've always suspected--that my big pump was contributing to heating my tank and allowing me to get by with just one little heater.

I use a pool heat exchanger to heat my 1100 gallon system. Works beautifully and only draws minimal gas.

Here are a few pics of my 150 gallon done on the same kind of heat exchanger system.

I use 3 visi therm 300watt heaters on my 750g. Spring and summer they are off because the pumps keep the water at around 84. I turned them back on last week for the winter.

I like. Some serious clean soldiering. Bet it'll work on large tanks.

Thanks, I work as a plumber so it had to be perfect. I am using that same heat exchanger on my 1100 gallon system and works great.

That is nice, wow, wish i had gas, but elect it is.
I think I will jsut try a 1000watt titantium, and between the UV and the Reeflo dart, I am thinking will keep the temps up were needed.

No hose clamps on that flex tubing? You don't worry about them bustin' loose over time? BTW, your soldering is a work of art...very nice!

use a room heater and heat the room to 85 or so.
