Heater recommendation

[diverrk]

Can someone please let me know what would be a good safe heater for a 3g pico. I was looking at the Hydor Mini, but not sure what temp it is set to.

 

Thanks

I've been using a pre-set Tetra heater (Tetra Whisper 2-15) in my picotope for a few months, and it works great. It's set for 78, and when I test it, it's always at 77.5. I got it at walmart for about $12. Hope that helps.

Thanks. That sounds like a good deal too. I'll have to check that out, I need it to be small.

I used this same heater in my 8 gall BioCube. It worked great!

I guess the only major thing I'm concerned with is using a glass Heater. My friends larger reef tank got cooked when the glass broke and the heater did not shut off !
