That's overkill, if you can find them.

Just use 3 300W ones and you should be fine.

I currently only run 2 250w on my 350g system. The only time they kick in is at night when the lights are of an the water cools a bit. Also, if you have more smaller heaters instead of 1 or 2 large ones you won't run the risk of a heater getting stuck on and frying your tank.

...or the opposite where one fails and your tank chills. Redundancy is king !

We carry the 800 w titanium heater but only have 1 in stock ATM. We also have 500's and tons of 300's. Controllers are extra unless you have your own controller.
pm me if you want pricing.

Im currently running 2 -300 watt and 1 - 150 watt right now and they NEVER shut off so I want to go with 1-2 bigger ones and leave the 2 - 300 watts as redundant back up's set 2 degrees lower as backup but want the bigger ones for main as they will hopefully draw less power in total
