I have a 55 gallon. Not long ago I picked up a heater that stated it was good for 30-60 gallon. Well, it needs to be cranked up to nearly max in order to keep my tank at 76 o in the cold basement. I'm afraid it may burn out and I won't be able to get a replacement in time. I would like to be able to crank it up to 87 should I get an Ick outbreak, which the current one cannot do. What Wattage of heater should I get for a 55 gallon? I plan to keep the old one in there for redundancy. Thanks in advance!
