I would go bare bottom on both tanks.

For the 25g, you do not need a 200w heater. I would go with two 50w instead. In the 10g, I would only use one 50w. Haven't used Visi-therms. Have not had...

Sounds like a good idea, except Canreef is primarily a Western Canadian board, so we couldn't really call it a "Canadian Tank of the Month". How about calling it a "Canreef Tank of the Month"?
