I'd suggest 2 200 watt heaters @opposite ends of the tank. An AC 500 would be the minimim, if it's planted heavily you may not need more. I'd suggest a secondary filter however again on the opposite end of the tank, just to help with circulation. ^_^  Current [link=Contest Rules]http://www.fishprofiles.com/files/forums/Aquascaping/44382.html?200412022138" style="COLOR: #EB4288[/link]  |
