250 Watt Heat In 29 Gallon.

[dcj38]

Hi
I was wondering if a heater of 250 watts is to much to put in a 29 gallon tank, or doesnt it matter? Will I be able to get away with 150 watts? Any comments are appreciated.

Thx
Adam

In my opinion it is over kill, although as long as you are not over heating the tank I can't see it being a problem. I run 100watt heaters in my 3foot, 35 gallon tanks and never have any problems...

I have been using a 150 watt heater in my 35 gallon (US) for many years and that seems to be a good fit.
