si_sphinx Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 I have found them to be very good as long as you don't over stock them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nativelover Posted September 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 yeah it will be well planted and eventually after cycleing it will have 2 dwarf puffers so should it be ok ? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nativelover Posted September 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 also what size heater would be good for it 100wt? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henward Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 100w heater would be very overkill...but good cos it wont use much power after heating as it maintains it well. as for stocking. i have had one, for 2 drawf puffers, more than sufficient. planted, even better! but really they are meant for low stock and plants display tanks.

malevolentsparkle Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 50watt should be plenty. the general rule is 1W/L, but Ive never seen a 35watt heater so 50w will do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nativelover Posted September 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 cool so the tank should be fine ? or keep looking? thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
si_sphinx Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 A 50W is what i use and it keeps at a very constant temp. Anything bigger and it just takes up too much room in the tank. 34ltrs (IIRC) is perfect for 2 dwarf puffers. I find these tanks grow plants well and fast with the white and red tube in it as well.
