hi everyone. i bought a small clearseal hospital/breeding/quarintine tank (25ltrs 18"long 10"wide 12" deep).
the tank is set up with gravel,silk plants and sponge filter. i put a heater in it 3 days ago but it still hasnt reached its temp. do you think the cheap plastic lid for it is letting the heat escape? the heater is a 55w suitable for up to 37ltrs? also will a piece of glass cut at say 17.5"x9.5"(to use as a lid) will stop the heat loss? the tank is in my heated garage but it is not the warmest room in the house. i have platy fry in my kids tank that i wanted to put into this tank.or do i buy a new bigger heater.
