100w incandescant should do the trick if its just for some heat

that was my inspiration the tank at redwood with the frontosa and peacocks and yep its siliconed in as its very bouyant i was guna make 1 for the middle but i could imagine difficultities trying to catch fish if i had to!

i found out the hard way polyboxes are notwatertight , they will be fine with a few inches of water in them but get a decent amont of water in there and it will push it through the the cracks between the beads the effect on the outside looks like the box is having little tears run down the sides

i like the tank did you diy that yourself? does it have ane form of lighting? i used to like going eeling a few years back but since ive found out more about them from this forum i wouldnt even think about it they take so long to grow i dont see how any fishing of them could be sustainable(im talking bout catching them to eat )

the smallest heaters ive seen are elite heaters i got 1 from organism i think it was 50w but a lot smaller than a 25w aquaone heater or a 25w masterpet heater
-
they do get brittle after a while and go yellow and crack its probably what is wrong with ur one. just get some thin acrylic that you can cut with sisscors it will be a lot cheaper than glass and will last 5 or 6 years the heat wont melt it or anething . the aluminum casing works as a heatsink for the ballast this is why the casing gets warm
