Heater for 5 gal.

[PunkRock050]

Anyone know where I can get a really small heater for my little 5 gallon tank? I used to have one for my 1 gallon a long time ago, it didnt have a temp adjust or anything, you just plugged it in. Im looking for something like that, but havent had any luck finding one.

What are you planning on keeping in such a small tank? I've never tried to get a heater that small so can't really help perhaps one of the other members?

Check out ebay for a 30 watt heater or so. Several sellers (pittviper, foryourfish) on ebay have them.

The small tank is just my "hospital" tank, and I use it to hold shrimp occasionally.

ostrow's idea sounds like a good one ( http/www.ebay.com ).

Good luck!

I always check ebay first. Good fishy sellers there ... and aquabid... but ebay has the buy-it-now.

shrimp do NOT need heat, they can deal with temps well BELOW 70 degrees, they are like goldfish, but shrimp can last at many different temps, if your just keeping shrimp you wont need one.

Which exact shrimp are u talking about reef3?
