maffoo Fingerling Posts: 45 Kudos: 184 Votes: 4 Registered: 10-Aug-2003	I've run out of outlets in my room, but am thinking of getting a 2ish gallon betta bowl. I'm considering wiring together some LEDs, probably some ultra-bright ones or something, so I can see the little guy, but I'm wondering how I'm going to go about heating the water. I figured that a very short length of undergravel heating cabling would work, but I have no idea how to make this work. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Just get a powerstrip or 2...maybe even run an extention cord in from another room if you're overloading the circut in your room...like I've done a few times to both of the circuts that power my room
