I have 2, 100 gallon rubbermaid stock tanks. It gets about 32 degrees in my garage in the winter and Im wondering what would be the cheapest way to heat it. I cant heat the whole room and I dont really want to build a frame and insulation. Is it possible to heat those 2 tanks with just aquarium heaters?

2, 100 gal tanks are not that big...
if not, then I think you are going to need to get some foam insulation around them.
You may need to build something to fit over the tanks to keep the heat in.
You will not need the space the two tanks with take up?
That aquarium heater you listed looks like a good one.
A little insulation way be needed for the sides and poss. a cover. I have an extra tank, but no extra room in the house. I am toying w/a tank in the garage.
Running two 1000w heater will maintain 76*F with an exterior temp of 32*F, But I would have Two 1000w backup heaters installed and set to turn on slightly higher than the main heaters.
Is there a reason you can't put some Greatstuff spray foam on the sides and set the tubs on a piece of 2" Styrofoam?

Use the Crack & Gap filler, it expands more.
Email them on coverage.
You can get it from HD or Lowes or a contractor's supply house.

insulate insulate insulate..........
foam board underneath .....
you can wrap the sides with moving blankets etc
cover the top with some type of double pane.....
they sell plastic for green houses just like what you could use....
my 2 cents
