I just bought a Visi-Therm Stealth 25w heater for my 2.5g tank and its too big. So what I was wondering is what would be a good small heater for that tank and also in the future I'm thinking about getting a 5g or 10g tank. Now I know the 25w should be good to heat a 5g tank but would it be able to handle a 10g tank if I ended up getting one or should I take it back to Petco and get a 50w(assuming I go with the 10g)? The package says its good for up to 8g.

The Hydor Theo is not as long as the VisiTherm Stealth. Is that a 2.5g Minibow? You can fit the visitherm in there along the back if you put it at an angle and change the filter out for an Azoo palm filter.

Yep its a Mini-Bow, a Christmas present a few years back, now i realize how hard it is to have such a small aquarium but my parents didn't the time

Yea, the filter that it comes with is good, but you can get more room for your fish if you get a small hob filter. I found the Azoo palm filters did a good job and freed up that space. The stealth can fit in, but the hydor theo will fit better for that tank.

Ya it does fit across the back but its rather a bit more cramped than I would like it to be, and yes I have an Aqua-Clear HOB running in the tank now, didn't really care for the design of the one that came with the tank. Thank you for the information
