100 watt heater is good, um ebo jagers are the best, tronics are good, most submersiable heaters are good, u pay for what u get most of the time

ya i was intersted in a submerible one thanks i dunno a price on one though

pro heats are the best, ebo jagers second, tronics third, i try to keep to top 2

I've heard the rule to be 5w/gal, and for the extra dollar or two it can't hurt. I'd go for at least a 150w.

It probably is better for circulation. You'll also have a backup in case one breaks. But you'll also have to remember that you're spending twice as much on heaters and that you have two ugly heaters in your tank to try and hide. It's up to you.

the money really is not a problem but i know about hiding them i will probably just buy some plants for something to TRY cover it up but ty for all the info

 

[SoulFish]

if money isnt the problem, trust me and go with proheats, if you really have the money get the pro heat 2s
