So I have a 55 gallon and I want its temp to be 82-85 degrees. My room temperature for water is around 71 degrees. How many watts would I need for that?

Why do you need 82-85 degrees that seems really hot, I don’t know of any fish that like water that hot

I have German blue rams. Also I figured out my problem, I had the heater set to 79 so that was my problem. In my defense, there was algae on the bar that shows what it was set at

There is a question as to what is a good temp for gbr. I think 86 ssinit has kept them at 79 with good longevity and the ones he has with his discus (86) don't live nearly as long. I think coralbandit recommends 82. I been keeping mine 79-80 right now since they are in a community tank (they were all males and i had wanted m/f). When paired i've kept them around 81 (though in my defense my last pair was doing great for 6 months until a power outage killed one).

I guess i'm saying 79 as the lower point is not so bad a temp for them but i'm not a real expert and I've had mixed success. The two i have now in hte community tank i abuse but i've had them for nearly 5 months and they were not young adults when i obtained them... then again they have a never ending appetite - chubby little things they are becoming (I keep them with some young angels who need regular feeding).
