hopefully it would be around 75 and you'd be good. I'v found that heaters go bad like that sometimes thats why I don't use one. Try it out without it and see how it goes, if it gets to cold you can always add one. Good luck.
I can vouch for the Fluval M line of heaters (although I'm a freshie) as a good titanium submersible. Simple controls and a solid-reflective body. The activation LED actually shines through the reflective coating when it's on, but then vanishes when it's off.
you live in NY and you don't use a heater during the winter?
it really depends on the fish you have though
I just bought a new heater aqueon pro, never heard of it before but I hvnt bought a heater in years
its not glass is all i was worried about
I would say it depends on what kind of lighting you are running and how close it is to the water line. For instance, my tank maintained a constant 79 while I ran 2 T5HO lamps at about 6" above the water line. Just changed to 6 T5HO mounted about 8" over the water line and now it stays at about 81-82. I am watching very close to see if I am going to have to run a chiller or not. If you are running Metal Halide lights, the heat from them may be even greater.
