P Plumber Feeder Fish MFK Member May 9, 2005 217 1 0 56 here Sep 15, 2006 #3 Room temp. is around 72-75 or so. Is the wattage calculation the same as having it in the tank?

P Plumber Feeder Fish MFK Member May 9, 2005 217 1 0 56 here Sep 15, 2006 #7 Yeah, I have a few Jagers laying around here somewhere, but I thought the biggest they make is a 250w.
