stargazer Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 first off Iwould like to thank everyone for the advice for the ammonia problem thats back to normal. However; my tank heater is having some problems. the temp. is like a rollercoaster up and down, of course I've got the tank by an outside wall and winter is near do I need a bigger heater? It's a 100 watt heater for a 30 gal tank apx 92cm x 42cm x 30.5cm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snookie Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 You could place another 100 w heater on the opposite side ? is there much water flow near heater , and how is heater positioned ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discusguru Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 30 gal is roughly 120 ltrs. Normally you need 2 watts per ltrs of water especially in colder areas. Add another 100 watts heater at the other end of the tank as suggested by snookie. Cheers, ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stargazer Posted November 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 filter on left rear heater on right rear,also it's one of those that you clamp on the top of tank. could probly put another heater on otherside. water flow pretty good I've got a airstone under/alongside of heater Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
