What size tank is the 800W heater for?
The HGY0003 800W suits very large tanks up to about 800 litres - roughly a 210-gallon tank or a 5 ft+ aquarium. For the very largest or coldest setups, two heaters are safer. Aquarium heaters need about 1 watt per litre - see our wattage & size guide.
Key features
- Explosion-proof quartz glass with nickel-chromium heating element
- External controller and digital LED display with built-in temperature sensor

- Memory function; safe for freshwater & saltwater
What temperature should you set?
Most tropical fish thrive at a steady 24-28°C; marine tanks around 24-26°C. A thermostatic heater like the HGY0003 holds a stable temperature through India's night and winter swings. See our aquarium temperature guide.
How to set up and use it
Submerge the heater near strong flow for even heat across a big volume, mount the external controller outside, and set your target. Keep a separate thermometer as a cross-check and follow our heater safety guide; two heaters at opposite ends heat a very large tank most evenly.
