Ebay, youtube videos will show you how to fit it.
I also have a 500 ltr upright tank and toying with idea. Im going to use an immersion heater 27" long. However it needs to be installed quite low down so need to stretch my arms on rack first  ;D

If you're no good with plumbing & electrics then best you ask someone to sort it out for you that does just to be on the safe side.
