What Size Heater?

[Gurglar]

Do you think a 150watt heater would be fine in a 35 gallon?

I live in Tropical North Queensland (Australia) and the temperature doesn't really drop except in winter and it still don't drop that far. So will a 150watt be fine?

I've seen a lot of people lose fish becauase of faulty heaters that stay on and cook their fish.

What I always suggest is to get 2 heaters that are rated for ha;lf your tank size. That way if 1 stays on it won't get hot enough that quick to hurt your fish and the other one will stay off.
