Visi Therm Stealth

Heater for 5 gallon tank…which one?

I have a mini-bow 5 gallon and i am planning on putting a dwarf puffer in it…it has already been cycled by the way.

I already tried the Jager 50 watt…which FRIED my tank. (they don’t make a 25 watt)

SO…should i go with…

the visi-therm stealth (they make a 25 watt and up) BUT it has no light indicating whether it is on or not

OR

the Aqueon 50 watt (they start at 50) which does have a light and on their site it says you can put it in a 5 gallon.

does anybody have any experience or prefference? thanks.

probably the second one, but if it’s manageable try and just get a bigger tank… it should be big enough for the fish but it’s really difficult to heat a tank that small. Also, the one that fried your tank… Was is a clip on or a submersable/??

Definately stay away from clip ons they aren’t very accurate…

Also do you have a lot of salt in it?

Dwarf puffers require salt but they can live in freshwater, but they won’t be very happy.

Wow I gave you way more that you probably wanted to hear, but I think wal-mart has a small submersible heaters
