check up on stealth, especially if there's going to be rocks and other hard things in the tank. You can get 250 watts off Dr. Foster's Smith (not even the cheapest place!) for like $20.

Marineland makes Stealth. I have a 75g with a 300w in there. Today my house was reallt cold when I got home because I forgot to close a window, probably 65-70 inside. Water temp was steady at 85 degrees
