Compatibility math

Safe wattage band

2.5 <= total watts / display gallons <= 5.0

ReefCrafter checks both the low-wattage failure and the oversized stuck-on failure.

Risk notes

  • A single oversized heater can cook livestock faster than a beginner notices the problem.
  • Price is marked as estimated, so verify current vendor pricing before treating the budget as final.

Professional fit context

  • Aqueon Pro 150 Adjustable Submersible Heater 150W fits roughly 35-55 gallon systems; confirm that range against the final display volume, sump volume, and livestock plan.
