My tank is an Eclipse 5 gal hex with a built in filter and bio-wheel. Unfortunately this makes it near impossible to add a heater with out doing something drastic or obnoxious looking. Any one have any idea how to get around it? Also, how many watts for a 5 gal?

I was going to use a submersible heater, i was worried about cord placement though. I want the cord to come out the back, the filter gets in the way though. I definatly think i can figure something out though. Thanks for the help guys
