Get a second 100W heater and run it also. I like the stealth. Most heaters are rated by tank size for a 10 degree difference with room temp. or less. If your room is often less than 72 degrees, get a bigger heater than recommended.

Just FYI on heaters: I recently bought a hydor theo 50W for my ten gallon and it was defective - it did nothing to heat the water at all. I emailed somebody from their website, described the problem, and within 2 days they emailed me to tell me that they were dropping another one in the mail. Great customer service!

-_- this has nothing to do with this post, but i dont know how else to ask it.... where do you click to put up a new post? i am so retarded its not even funny

For a heater, a Visi-therm stealth. If you don't plan on keeping fish in your tank, just a plain old, cheap flourescent fixture is fine for your tank. As far as a filter, your best bet would be a canister filter, but not always necessary. I would probably go with a decent sized power filter for that tank.

For the future, more people will be willing to answer your questions if you make use of english grammar. Spelling, some punctuation once in a while...It is very effective.
