5.5g Nano and heater issues

[andresont]

It could be just a heater issue, just get another one in there.
I have 300W(!) on my 6 gal nano and temp is very stable at 24C.
I did not have a heater in there so when temp outside dropped i just used what was avaliable from my old tank.

HOLY CRAP.

Hrm - That's surprising, but maybe that's the joy of the "mini" heaters. It's such a nice heater though. Sigh. Guess it's going back to the store!

Yep, and this thing is so big i could hardly fit it inside diagonally across the whole tank.

Hey Nick-I have a 25w heater in my 2.5 gallon and have no heat issues (yet...just wait until summer I am sure) I would be inclined to think you do have a bad heater....it can and does happen often it seems. I had a larger heater in there but didn't like the way it looked as it wouldn't fit in the AC filter
