For a 29 gallon tank, which is best to get when it comes to stealths?
100W - 10 in. - up to 30 Gallon
or the
150W - 13 3/4 in. - up to 45 Gallon
to be honest I'm really afraid of coming home to see my fish all fried out, from what I've read and such it just sounds awful I don't wanna get anything that'll be too much for it. Any tips I should know when it comes to having a heater?
I think I have a 100 or a 150 watt in a 10g. Anyway it's doing fine and keeping my fishy's warm throughout the cold weather FYI make sure you get an accurate thermometer or at least have two to check if either one is not giving accurate results. Btw what's the price difference?
It depends on what temp you keep your house at and what temp you want to keep the tank at. The greater the difference, the more powerful the heater you need. If there is a 20 degree difference, a 150 would be a better choice. IMO it's always best to go with more than less when it comes to heaters and filters. The extra watage is only going to heat the water faster, maintaning a steadier temp.
The price difference on that particular website is like 5 bucks or so. And my apartment fluctuates from 68 - 75 degrees for some reason? So I think maybe I should go with the 150w just in case. The two thermometers is a good idea, does it matter if its digital or a stick on one?
Good morning. I would go with the 150w as well. You don't want to go the cheap route as far as your heating is concerned. I know we all need to save a buck these days. I like the Visi Therm Stealth Heaters myself.
Best of luck and have a great weekend!
