Kaplanm Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I'm setting up an incredibly small quarantine tank to quarantine new incoming frags. Right now the tank is approx 2 gal, I need to find a heater that'll keep it at a reasonable temperature. I've been looking at some of the "always one" beta heaters but a lot of reviews point to the fact that they have a nasty habit of just going berserk and cooking things. Does anyone have a recommendation for a nano heater I could use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jestep Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 The glass hydor ones are decent and cheap. Make sure to confirm the temp with another thermometer no matter what you use. I definitely wouldn't use an always on with SW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaplanm Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 Thanks for the tip. It's cheap enough I'll give it the old college try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaplanm Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 I tried a Jager for my 5 gallon nano and was dissatisfied. I was getting temperature swings of about 4 degrees every day. I'm only trying to heat the tank to about 8 degrees above ambient, shouldn't be that hard. I switched to the Cobalt Neotherm and it's been solid as a rock ever since.

12_egg_omelette Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Cobalt is a badass heater too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
