Walmart has a small heater that is 7 watts. It's supposed to be for 2 1/2 to 5 gallon tanks, but you could give it a try. It's called the "Jr. Heater" and costs about 6-7$. Make sure you have a thermometer to keep an eye on the temps. Hope it works out for you. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Has anyone actually tried the Jr. Heater? I've heard a lot about it, but I haven't heard if they are safe or not from people who have actually tried it. Maybe I'm just not looking in the right place...

(I also have a 1 gal plexiglass)


Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.

yeah, i recently bought two and so far it keeps my one gallon (with a Nano filter) pretty much around 80F. i also have plastic wrap over the top (with proper air holes). i use it to slow water evaporation and temp fluctuations. the one i have in my 2 1/2 tank maintains it between 78F - 80F, plastic craft-grid for a lid. i think it works great. i would keep in mind that results may vary considering other factors such as additional heat from lighting, room tepms, lids, water circulation, etc.


ENJOY!! <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
