Which heater and heater cover?

[Salty&Onion]

Hi, I always thought of getting Eheim Jager one, but which wattage for my 125L tank?
Here the link to Jager one:

And I also found a heater with a heater cover:

Heater with heater cover one is only available in only 200 , 100 , and 300 watts. Which wattage should I get for my 125 L tank then? I've set my eyes more on the second non-Jager one as it is cheap and comes already with a cover. My tank will be tighlty packed with plants.

My 125ltr has a 100w which does fine.

Ok, thanks! I'll be getting the 100w with the cover non-jager! Thanks!

Wait, what if I would get the 200w, would it over heat?

It won't overheat cos of the thermostat but the choice is yours. If money is tight grab the bargain, if not get the bigger one.

Given the consequences of failure I would go with the eheim. For most fish (and heaters) a cover really isn't a big deal.

Not knocking the cheaper one BTW - I have one that looks identical and its been perfect. But I do have additional protection against failure so if the heater or thermostat fails my fish will be fine.

I'm gonna have kuhlis and they could be near the heater and get burned. I actually have to get the Jager one.. I'll need to wait couple of weeks now to get it.
