Is a 12v MPP all in one enough for what I need?

I am currently trying to do a setup to power some filters for a fish tank and lights for a tortoise enclosure, I will be using rough 600w and will need power continuously(24/7). The lights will be on timers so not all with be running at the same time so power needed will change throughout the day. I really would like to know if a 12v MPP system will be okay for that type of setup. also i already have one 100w solar kit from harbor freight could i just get a couple more of these to provide sufficient solar power.
Welcoming all suggestions
Thank You.

Is that 600 watts per hour. Best thing to do would be to use a kilowatt meter for a few days and figure out total daily usage.

600 watts for 24 hours will need tons if storage.

The 600w is the total watts of all the items being plugged in.

Will give the kilowatt meter a try. thanks.

Should be fine. Make sure you have enough battery to go a few days without power. Turtle lives matter .

Don't buy any more of that junk. You can do much better for less!

This guy posts here and has some good deals on new and used panels: https://www.santansolar.com/product/

Or you can just look in your local Craigslist. Around me, practically new panels go for about 30 cents a watt.

On second thought...it looks like that can only handle 500w input? Don't order it yet until you confirm your actual load with a meter.

The problem is, with a 24/7 500w load you'll need a huge battery, like 12v 500ah just to make it through the night. Then you'll need to charge that battery back in less than 5 sun hours = 100amp charge (1200w). Plus, it has to charge AND power the loads during the day at the same time (500w). So you'd need 1700w from the solar panels.

You can see this gets ridiculous in size and cost for that load so it's very important to see what you really need. Get a Kill-o-watt or similar and do some tests before buying any solar equipment. It will save you a ton of headaches and wasted money later.
