TheGr8Blade Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 With all this talk about heaters, I just thought I would ask. I recently aquired a 2.2g acrylic aquarium. I was wondering if anyone knows what size heater I should get? What kind of heater I should (that won't melt the tank)? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Found this one http://www.petdiscounters.com/product.php?...t=346&page= Would this work? Can we buy these here? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 I went without a heater at all in my 6g nano, but its in an office environment, so the temperature remains more or less stable. The heat from the 18w of light above it heat it up enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvision Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 Placing a heating pad under the tank, set on low might do the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toirtis Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 Placing a heating pad under the tank, set on low might do the trick. Not a good idea....far too many potential hazards, especially as that is not the intended use of such a pad. Hagen's Elite submersible 25W heaters are your answer....have one in my daughter's 2 gallon betta tank...works a treat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOSStile Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 I used a walmart 50 watt with that tank when I used it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trooper Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 I have a few small ones kicking around. You are more than welcome to grab one. No charge, just the 5 bucks in fuel it will cost ya to come get it. P.M. if you want it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudy Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 I personally like the 7.5 watt submersible heater pad for small tanks. You can pick them up at Pisces for $15 or so. I have never seen them anywhere else. Definately worth it though as they don't take up any room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've used 25w and 50w Eheim Jagers in 2g tanks without any cause for alarm, also the Jagers won't melt plastic tanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
