can the 300 watt be suitable for a 250 gallons fish tha

Its very possible to use this for a 250 gallon I have a 125 and use this 300 watt well below what's recommended for my tank size it keeps it very warm and its very durable I have large Oscars in my tank u can only imagine try contacting a pet smart and see what they think u may have to purchase 2 but its still great at the price amazon has it versus pet supply stores there normally $50-60 bucks at pet for just 1

I am not sure about that. Your tank is pretty big. Maybe not because your tank is huge.

Depends on how you keep your thermostat. If you keep a constant 80° in your house you would be okay. But if you live up north, you probably don't and would need at least two of these.

We have a 50 gallon tank and it keeps the water for my very large red ear red slider a perfect 68 degrees. I image it might if you're not too fussy about the temperature being super warm.

It keeps my 150 gallon pond a warm 75 degrees, but it fluctuates. It is made for an aquarium, so I would guess it will take a while, but it will warm a 250 gallon tank...though it may fluctuate some. Mine fluctuates about 10 degrees (5 up, 5 down), keep in mind mine is outdoors and the outside temps fluctuate too. ;)P.S. I am very happy with my purchase!

If you put anything bigger then 35 watt it blows. I would not attempt 150 watt.

Yes, you can, all it gonna do heat your water fast. And I like that, I always like high wattage over low wattage doesn't matter tank size, it makes my fish comfortable fast. Imagine you are in a room with size 100 sqft with a room heater for 1000 sqft, your heater gonna make room heat fast and shutdown till temp goes down again.

I meant to say no. 300 watt is the max. You are at 400. Too much will melt cable

it is recommended to have 300w power supply but some people report using 250w and it works for them

I would have some power in reserve and get one "capable" of 30 gal. But I have had bad experiences with Tetras leaking and would consider other brands.

Not sure what that means, I have one unit 300 watt on a 125 gal tank and it works just fine

Yes. This particular model will take up to a 300 watt safely. Anything more powerfull may need a bigger case to run it safely

I would go with at least the 50 watt. Probably the 100 would be better. You can always put it a little bit diagonally in the tank. it is ok to fully submerge even the top part. I would consider going with 2 50watt heaters with one on either end of the tank for a more even heating effect. Plus both heaters would last longer because neither one would have to work as hard.

I have a 46 gallon cichlid tank and I bought a 300 watt heater. With the adjustable temperature control, I am able to keep it at a steady 78.4 degrees.

No. On average, a heated tank needs about 5 watts of heat per gallon, but bettas are tropical so 7.5 should be fine.

I don't feel that thee is enough difference between 200 watt and 300 watt heater unless the heater were to malfunction. The 300 would in my opinion be better if you live in a colder climate and kept your home heat at a lower temperature

These heaters are more efficient, which means you need less wattage than other heaters. So for 36 gallon glass tank a 100 or 125 watt heater will be perfect. Do not think more wattage is better it is not, to much wattage will throw off the nice balance that a properly matched wattage to gallon ratio will give you.Not to mention the more wattage the longer and bigger size heater.

Greater heating power for larger masses of water. 200 is probably fine for up to 100 gallon.

I am using 150w for a 40 gal tank (but it has only about 20 gal water in it).

The wattage depends on the size of the pond. Both K & H (khmfg.com) and Farm Innovators (farminnovators.com) have a zone charts for their pond de-ricers. Both have contact information so you could always email them your pond specifics for help, as I have yet to find anyone who list information for ponds larger than 1200 gals.

Not sure about watts but you might find that under the specs. Definitely delivers. I have it running a waterfall and bubbler. I have to use a diverter of about 25/75 or the bubbler is to strong. The waterfall is about four feet above floor of pond and runs strong.
