I'm going to be setting up a new 6.6 gallon tank. It's about 2 ft long, and only about 10" high. I've heard good things about Visi-Therm heaters - what size should I get? Also, what kind of HOB filter would you recommend? I like the look of AquaClear...

Azoo Palm filter, 25W Visitherm Stealth heater are both good choices.

How the hell is the tank 2 feet long and only 6.6 gallons? My ten is only 20 inches and only 10 tall?

Because your ten is 12 inches tall. The 10 is depth.

It's very narrow - 8" at its widest point (bowfront)

Ok I got you, in that case I suggest a aquaclear 20 and a stealth heater 50 watt

I don`t like hang on heaters because you need to unplug them when doing water changes.

Stealths are submersible
