Equipment Review and Discussion :: Heating unit

I think that i am going to get the stealth heater because it is getting to be winter where i live right now in MN. So, is there a temp dial? what is the lowest # and what is the highest it can go to?? I have a 20 gallon tank right now but i think that i am going to get a bigger tank in like a month or so. Do you think that it would be OK to get like a 75 or 100 WATT for the heater and put it in with my 20 gallon tank? Thank you so much!!

I'd get a 100-watt one for a 20-gallon, although I think 100-watt Stealth's are rated to be used with even a somewhat larger tank. There is a dial to adjust the temp, I can't remember the min and max temps, but the range will accommodate your turtle's temp needs.

How big a tank do you intend to upgrade to? I used a 200-watt Stealth in a 40-gallon stock tank.

thanks...i will probably be getting a 400 gallon tank when the turtles get older. i want them to have lots of room and hope that they lead a wonderful life!
