How do you fit a 25 watt heater into a five gallon? I think I am gonna look into the Hydor heater. Also Chaloupa what mini filter did you use? I think your idea is great. Thanks for the input.

I just used an Aquaclear I think they call it mini....cut a hole in the top for the heater to poke out of, and only had sponge and a small amt. of sand in the filter....I didn't have a fish just some inverts but the temp was alway ok.....it just required frequent top ups...that was my only beef...I'll try to find a pic for ya

It grew corals well with the coralife 18w light...tons of light for such a small tank...the macro's grew too well and required quite a bit of pruning...but it was fun...OK for a while I did have a panda goby and a flaming prawn goby...but you never saw them so I moved them out of it to another nano

I run a 4.4 Gallon, with the only heat source being the pump and lights. Tank drops to 77 at night, up to 79 during the day with lights on.
