 | HEATER FOR SMALL TANK |
JTF  Enthusiast Posts: 245 Registered: 16-May-2004   | With the fall/winter months ahead, I am looking to buy a smal heater for a one gallon betta tank. None of the LFS here in Kingston carry anything under 50 w. Are there any online sites in canada that I could purchase on say from 15-25 w. Thanks. |

I have no idea, though, if it's good or bad. I've never heard of the brand, but it sounds just about right for a 1 gallon. |

jake Fish Addict Posts: 594 Kudos: 875 Votes: 2 Registered: 21-Mar-2004 | http://www.bigalsonline.ca/catalog/product.xm Online site.. Canadian.. 25W. That should meet most the criteria. I prefer the little Neptune 25w heaters, but I'm sure that one will work fine also. |

| poisonwaffle Mega Fish Posts: 1397 Kudos: 591 Registered: 11-Feb-2003 | The Jr. Heater doesn't regulate temp...it's on all the time when it's plugged in. One of my buddies had one in his 2g tank and it got up to 90F one day and the next day it was down to 65F and a few days later it got up to 95F. His betta wasn't happy  |
