Best Size Heater for a 3foot tank???

Hello everyone ,

i have a 3foot fish tank 120liters aprox and at the moment it has a 150watt heater in it but now and then i find that it will go one degree or so below when it gets cold and takes a a few hours to get back to where the fish like it. i mean for most fish this is fine but i like to keep them completely happy 24/7 so would the best thing to do? get another smaller heater in on the other side say a 75watt one? or just up grade my 150watt one? to say 180 or 200watt or am i just being petty?

any thoughts

i think it would be easiest to buy another heater, put them on opposite sides and adjust them until they keep the tank the temp that you want.
