21.6 Litres Do I Get A 25W Or 50W Heater?

[marieukxx]

The 25w is for 20 litres and my tank si just over should I get the 50w? Thanks

I would personally use the 25w Marie, but await others comments

You can get 25 watt ones. See if you can get one of those.

O dear, don't panic though, if it gets really bad and the temperature drops you can easily float him in some container in your other tank until your new heater arrives.

Thanks it's staying at 23 do you think he'll be ok till it comes?

He will be fine, 23 is not that cold.

+1 for the 25w...

Just keep a close eye on it and make sure it doesn't go too low or decides to work and goes too low

I will keep a close eye on it thanks guys, what a hassle eh. It's always me.

On paper it's 25w , when I bought my small tank they gave me a 50w with it, temp set at 26c, no overheating, all good

A consistent temperature is better than a fluctuating one. A constant 23 is fine if you're waiting for a new heater.

This is a perfect example of why it's always good to have a back up heater on hand.
