Visi-therm stealth

the heater is about..... 4-5 inches below the filter intake, should i raise it a bit?
 
I think imma pick one up on Ebay. What's a good wattage for a 10 g? I would like it to be on the higher end of being okay as far as wattage goes, incase I ever decide to get a bit of a larger tank :)

I wouldn't go any higher than 75w on a 10g. I use 50w heaters on mine.
 
My heater was maintaining temp just fine, until the outside temp rose to 90+ yesterday - guess its time to turn our air conditioner on. Either that or get a chiller.
 
I've got the stealth in each one of my aquariums... love the petsmart price matching too... saved a bundle!

Just wondering why no one mentions Rena Cal Top Light Excel heaters, is it because they cost more ? The 300 watt we have regulates to a 1/2 of a degree. useing 2 digital therms.on each end, constant temp is between 77.5 and 78 under controled conditions....Thank's....:idea:

Well, one reason they werent mentioned is since the title of this thread is about Visi-Therm Stealths. The advantage IMO of the Stealth is that it is black and isnt made of glass (i.e. shatterproof). They are in a thermal plastic case with aluminum core, no glass. The accuracy seems great, but the cal top might even be more accurate I am not entirely sure. My only complaint is they dont make any higher wattage ones. I'm currently looking to heat my 240G w/sump up a good 10*-12*F over ambient temps (78* from 66-68) and I feel like putting 6 heaters together is silly. So I might be looking for some higher wattage heaters but I am not sure which is reliable since I've always just trusted Visi Therms.
