zjharva Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 I use a 50 watt tetra heater in my ~6 gallon freshwater tank, and it keeps it very stable at 78 degrees. Would the 100 or 200 watt version of that heater be good enough? Link to comment

Saltwater tank doesn't mean you need a larger heater....its still 6 gallons of water.. Link to comment

viinse Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 I had one I was using for water changes, but it never seemed to get the water to the temp it was supposed to. I wouldn't trust one in my tank. Link to comment
