Our heater is a 100 watt marine land submersible heater. When we were starting we went to Big Al's and some guy gave us everything we would need for the Biocube. Since then I am realizing that maybe some of it wasn't the best quality. it's only been a few months but there sure is a steep learning curve to this hobby. And some bad decisions/purchases along the way...

 75% of the junk for sale out there is just that; junk... There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason as to why it's for sale. Take Coralife timers... Complete crap but they sell like mad to people who have never had one. I bought four at once and just tossed 3/4 into the trash last night. Bad purchases are something that is just going to happen because we trust manufacturers to produce a USABLE product for sale vs. a paper weight. And anything that is "included for free" is generally not worth the plastic it took to make it. Get yourself a good quality titanium heater with a controller like a JBJ etc. For a 29g I'd use a 200w if you're having troubles keeping the temp up in that room. Which biocube is it? Coralife? You may want to consider a media basket for the back. Basically it forces the water to flow THROUGH the media like carbon or GFO instead of around it like it does without one. http://www.mediabaskets.com I use one for both my nano-cubes and they do a great job.
