Heater for 55 gallon African cichlid tank
Oct 12, 2012 · its so confusing deciding what to pick lol I have read some posts that say use a 100w on a 55g because even though it will take longer to heat it, once its heated if for example the heater doesnt shut off, the 100w wont overheat your tank or atleast not within a day whereas a 200w or 250w could overheat your aquarium in the time you leave for and come home from work.

Mar 1, 2015 · For a temporary tank while cleaning, I suggest finding a big plastic tub and fill it with clean water, add a filter/heater, then all your fish. You don't need to remove the fish, but if you're scared about it go ahead. Do a 80-100% water change on your tank. I know it was only one drop in a huge tank, but it's better safe than sorry.
