Yer it will hold the temp for you so it doesn't drop or keep going up

Unless it is very cold in your room 100W heater will keep up just fine.

Thanks guys . It's just looking on eBay the price difference between a 100 watt or up to a 250 watt is only 20 pence that's all . What do you think ? X

 

[Stardaddy]

Just get the 100 watt one 250 watt it too much for what you need so just look for one that is 100 watt

Hello Rich...

If you figure 5 watts for every gallon of tank volume, you'll be fine. You'll get a heater that's a bit larger than needed, but the plus is the heater doesn't have to work as hard to maintain a set temperature.

For your 60L, a 75 watt heater is fine. Marineland has a good product.
