Id say to heat your tank well your going to need to go atleast 4-5 watts per gallon, so IMO Id get either 3 of the 500watt or 2 800watt Titainiums at aquaticeco.com.
 
yea i was htinking of using the 800w 20"
2 of htose i htinkl do the job
thanks for the links man
 
Why don't you try a small pool heater, It will be cheaper and it runs externally so you will have better control. Also you can run electric or natural gas which would be cheaper.
 
A Hayward in-line would be nice on that tank. Max. 11,000 watts. part#LH55 at aquaticeco.com. Would keep temp. extremely stable.
