I know the cheap heaters aren't very reliable when it comes to heating small tanks, any recommendations on a heater for my 2.5 gal?

I saw a Tetra--Whisper Heater for 2-15 gal tanks at walmart. Is this a good one? I dunno if I like the fact that its not adjustable though. Are they all non-adjustable?

I belive that one is 50 watts, no?

Thats a we bit much for a 2.5 IMO.


This is the PERFECT heater for a small tank:

Took me a bit to find it, because i couldnt remember who made it. But, i remembered seeing it in the drs foster and smith catalouge, so i just went through their website.

Not sure if its the same exact one but I found one like it on ebay made by Hydor. Paid $11 with $4 s/h. So $15 not bad :) Thanks for the info Drum!
