Default Heater Question...

I have a 25 watt heater for a ten gallon tank and it wont heat the tank up to the temperature I would like it to be. Is the heater too small or am I possibly doing something wrong?

Its supposed to be able to heat a 10 gallon tank but I've yet to see one that does. I'd opt for the 50 watt heater. Thats what I use in all my 10 gallon tanks.
