    Default Heating pad question

    Hey guys! Just finished the tank and now really all that's left is adjusting the temperature. Right now its about 75 so I figure a heating pad should do the trick. What size should I get for the 20 gallon high since I only want to increase my temps by say 10 degrees? Any reputable heating pads you guys have experience with, I had just bought one zoo med and it broke within a week :/

    Using a UTH on the side should help bring temps up. What will you be housing and how much of the top is vented?

    A small incandescent bulb would work too. I've never had luck with UTHs. They never really seem to do the trick and they break easily. Just make sure the bulb is relatively low wattage.
