My 55 gallon freshwater tank is in a mostly unheated basement that can get down to around 50° F in the winter. I previously had a 300 watt Marineland Stealth Pro heater that Marineland recalled last year and replaced with a 300 watt Visi-Therm heater. The Visi-Therm heater just died (the indicator light is on but it never heats).
I'm thinking that keeping the tank at 76° F in a 50° F room was too much of a load for a single heater, so I'm going to get two heaters instead. Should they be 150 Watt or 200 watt heaters?
Thanks in advance for any ideas on this.
